Coverity analysis uncovered a complaint in last nights run after
this was pushed. The virBufferTrim() call has "other" places where
the return status is checked, but this call doesn't. Using cscope
I also see that virNetSSHCheckHostKey() in virnetsshsession.c
does not check return status.


FILE: src/node_device/node_device_udev.c

Coverity error seen in the output:
	ERROR: CHECKED_RETURN
	FUNCTION: udevLogFunction

Coverity Events:
372
    virBufferAdd(&buf, fmt, -1);

                             Calling function "virBufferTrim(virBufferPtr,
 (1) Event check_return:     char const *, int)" without checking return
                             value (as is done elsewhere 5 out of 6 times).
                             No check of the return value of
  (7) Event unchecked_value: "virBufferTrim(&buf, "\n", -
                             1)".
                             [example_checked][example_checked]
Also see events:             [example_checked][example_checked]
                             [example_checked]
