If the function lxcSetupLoopDevices(def,&nloopDevs,&loopDevs) failed,
the variable loopDevs will keep a initial NULL value, however, the
function VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(loopDevs[i]) will directly deref it.

* rc/lxc/lxc_controller.c: fixed a null pointer dereference.

Indeed, this situation might happen if memory reallocation fails after some iterations of the loop inside of lxcSetupLoopDevices, leaving nloopDevs assigned to some value, but loopDevs being NULL.

ACK. I squashed in a fix for seting the device counter to 0 if this happens. (Well it will be fixed on two places at once, as lxcSetupLoopDevices is called only from here).
