If a domain network interface that contains a <filterref> is modified "live" using "virsh update-device --live", libvirtd would crash. This was because the code supporting live update of an interface's filterref was assuming that a filterref might be added or modified, but didn't account for removing the filterref, resulting in a null dereference of the filter name. Introduced with commit 258fb278, which was first in libvirt v1.0.1.
