[libvirt] [PATCH] iohelper: Don't try to fdatasync(stdout)

After upgrading to libvirt 1.0.0, I've started getting warnings
from libvirt:
(gnome-boxes:5965): Libvirt.GObject-CRITICAL **: cannot finish stream:
internal error libvirt_iohelper: unable to fsync stdout: Invalid argument

On further investigation, in iohelper.c:runIO(), fdatasync can get called
on STDOUT_FILENO, which indeed returns EINVAL when this happens. After
making sure that fdout is not STDOUT_FILENO, this warning goes away.
