Yes, if you only look at the if branch then stack allocating the key
makes sense, but when you look at the else branch you'll see that the
key can also be a copy of the datastore path. In that case a stack
allocated key might be a bad idea if the path is longer than
VIR_UUID_STRING_BUFLEN - 1.

Pushing it unchanged. Thanks.
