[PATCH] qemu: Don't corrupt pointer in qemuDomainSaveMemory()

[Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The code that was split out into the qemuDomainSaveMemory expands the
pointer containing the XML description of the domain that it gets from
higher layers. If the pointer changes the old one is invalid and the
upper layer function tries to free it causing an abort.

This patch changes the expansion of the original string to a new
alocation and copy of the contents.
