[PATCH] conf: fix use after free in virChrdevOpen

[Ján Tomko <jtomko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't free the stream on error if we've successfully added it
to the hash table, since it will be freed by virChrdevHashEntryFree
callback.

Preserve the error message before calling virStreamFree, since it
resets the error.
