Commit id '740e4d70' altered the logic to fetch the sysconf values and
added a new virConfGetValueStringList which returns -1 on failure, 0 if
missing, and 1 if the value was present.

However, the caller only checked !shargv which caught Coverity's attention
since the following VIR_ALLOC_N(*shargv, 2) would be a NULL ptr deref
