[PATCH] esx: Fix dynamic dispatch for CastFromAnyType functions

[Matthias Bolte <matthias.bolte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was broken by the refactoring in ac1e6586ec75. It resulted in a
segfault for 'virsh vol-dumpxml' and related volume functions.

Before the refactoring all users of the ESX_VI__TEMPLATE__DISPATCH
macro dispatched on the item type, as the item is the input to all those
functions.

Commit ac1e6586ec75 made the dynamically dispatched CastFromAnyType
functions use this macro too, but this functions dispatched on the
actual type of the AnyType object. The item is the output of the
CastFromAnyType functions.

This difference was missed in the refactoring, making CastFromAnyType
functions dereferencing the item pointer that is NULL at the time of
the dispatch.
