[libvirt] [PATCH] pci: fix null pointer dereference

Clang detected a null-pointer dereference regression, introduced
in commit 4e8969eb.  Without this patch, a device with
unbind_from_stub set to false would eventually try to call
virFileExists on uncomputed drvdir.

* src/util/pci.c (pciUnbindDeviceFromStub): Ensure drvdir is set
before use.
