[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] virPerfEventIsEnabled: Don't crash on shut off domains

[Michal Privoznik]

So imagine the following. You connect read only to a daemon and
try to fetch stats for a shut off domain, e.g.:

  virsh -r domstats $dom

but all of a sudden, virsh instead of printing the stats throws
the following error at you:

  error: Disconnected from qemu:///system due to I/O error
  error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error

The daemon crashed. This is its backtrace:

241         return event->enabled;

Problem is, shut off domains don't have priv->perf allocated.
Therefore if in frame #1 qemuDomainGetStatsPerf() tries to check
if perf events are enabled, NULL is passed to
virPerfEventIsEnabled() which due to some incredible
implementation dereference it. Fix this by checking whether
passed object is not NULL.
