[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: fix libvirtd segfault

[Jim Fehlig]

Commit d72ef888 introduced a bug in the libxl driver that will
segfault libvirtd if libxl reports an error message, e.g. when
attempting to initialize the driver on a non-Xen system.  I
assumed it was valid to pass a NULL logger to libxl_ctx_alloc(),
but that is not the case since any errors associated with the ctx
that are emitted by libxl will dereference the logger and crash
libvirtd.

Errors associated with the libxl driver-wide ctx could be useful
for debugging anyway, so create a 'libxl-driver.log' to capture
these errors.
