NACK, as written.

There is a potential NULL dereference in there, but just going to
cleanup results in freeing static strings here. Patch 1 fixes it
correctly.

Actually this code has been there for a while now, but didn't do
anything useful with the queried values because of the format mismatch
between libvirt and ESX. Therefore, patch 2 disables that code but
keeps it as a reference for how to query performance counters.

Subject: [PATCH] esx: Avoid null dereference on error in esxDomainGetInfo

Add missing early exits and convert error logging to proper API level
error reporting.

Centralize cleanup code for the PerfQuerySpec object.

Reported by Eric Blake, detected by clang.
