[PATCH] qemu: silence clang false positive

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Our logic throws off analyzer tools:

ptr var = NULL;
if (flags == 0) flags = live ? _LIVE : _CONFIG;
if (flags & _LIVE) do stuff
if (flags & _CONFIG) var = non-null;
if (flags & _LIVE) do more stuff
else if (flags & _CONFIG) use var

the tools keep thinking that var can still be NULL in the last
if clause, adding the hint shuts them up.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSetBlkioParameters): Add a
static analysis hint.

Off-list, I confirmed with Alex that ccc-analyzer and clang are both
built on the same llvm compiler front end, and thus give the same
analysis.  And I reproduced the static analyzer false positive; this
is the proper fix.
