[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Fix crash in virDomainMemoryStats with old qemu

If virDomainMemoryStats was run on a domain with virtio balloon driver
running on an old qemu which supports QMP but does not support qom-list
QMP command, libvirtd would crash. The reason is we did not check if
qemuMonitorJSONGetObjectListPaths failed and moreover we even stored its
result in an unsigned integer type.

Notes:
    version 2:
    - use signed type for i and j to avoid comparison between signed and
      unsigned types; gcc-- for not complaining about it
