[PATCH 04/10] storage: avoid memory leak on stat failure

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Spotted by coverity.  Triggers on failed stat, although I'm not sure
how easy that condition is, so I'm not sure if this is a runtime
memory hog.  Regression introduced in commit 8077d64 (unreleased).

* src/util/storage_file.c (virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD):
Reduce need for malloc, avoiding a leak.
