commit 27908453 introduces a regression, and it will
cause libvirt crashed when starting network.

The reason is that tapfd may be NULL, but we dereference
it without checking whether it is NULL.

It's not necessary to test for tapfd. This is similar to VIR_FREE().
Besides that you should test for if(tapfd>=0) if testing at all.

Without this check, libvirt may crash. tapfd is pointer, and it is not
necessary to check if *tapfd >= 0, but it is necessary to test for tapfd.

So I pushed this patch without any change.
You're right..
