[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemu: Fix DEATHCODE error in qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune.

[John Ferlan]

Need to fix the commit message to something like "Resolve Coverity DEADCODE"  (something I just realized for 1/2 which could read Resolve Coverity COPY_PASTE_ERROR"

Something I can take care of when pushing.

While the following does work...

Would perhaps the following be "cleaner":

The difference being moving the setting of 'priv' to be made
regardless of flags and supportMaxOptions only once prior to
using in either place. The second sentence of your comment is
a bit confusing too - I assume the "VM data" you are referencing
is the vm obtained much earlier.  Or are you trying to indicate
that perhaps one of the interceding calls is necessary?

In any case, does the above look reasonable?

Tks -
