[Libguestfs] [PATCH 11/11] java: do not try to malloc 0 elements in get_all_event_callbacks

[Pino Toscano]

In case there are no event handlers registered with the handle,
get_all_event_callbacks will count 0 elements, trying to malloc a buffer
of that size.  POSIX says that this can result in either a null pointer,
or an unusable pointer.  Since we assume a null pointer means failure,
then always add a null element at the end, so we do not rely on
implementation-defined behaviour of malloc.

The output parameter 'len_rtn' already keeps the number of valid items
in the returned array, so there are no behaviour changes for callers of
get_all_event_callbacks.
