[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix potential use of undefined variable in remote dispatch code

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

If an early dispatch check caused a jump to the 'cleanup' branch
then virTypeParamsFree() would be called with an uninitialized
'nparams' variable. Fortunately 'params' is initialized to NULL,
so the uninitialized 'nparams' variable would not be used.
