[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] conf: Don't crash on invalid chardev source definition of RNGs and other

Since commit 297c99a5 an invalid source definition XML of a character
device that is used as backend for RNG devices, smartcards and redirdevs
causes crash of the daemon when parsing such a definition.

The device types mentioned above are not a part of a regular character
device but are backends for other types. Thus when parsing such device
NULL is passed as the argument @chr_def. Later when checking the
validity of the definition @chr_def was dereferenced when parsing a UNIX
socket backend with missing path of the socket and crashed the daemon.

Sample offending configuration:
  <devices>
  ...
    <rng model='virtio'>
      <backend model='egd' type='unix'>
        <source mode='bind' service='1024'/>
      </backend>
    </rng>
  </devices>
