[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix modifying disk devices in qemu driver

v2:
- free dev before using it again.

When modifying the disk devices of a live domain and the domain
configuration, the function qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig
first sets dev->data->disk to NULL. Later qemuDomainAttachDeviceLive
accesses dev->data.disk and causes a segfault.
