[libvirt] [PATCH] virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool: Avoid double free

[Michal Privoznik]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1316370

Consider the following disk for a domain:

    <disk type='volume' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <auth username='libvirt'>
        <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
      </auth>
      <source pool='iscsi-secret-pool' volume='unit:0:0:0' mode='direct' startupPolicy='optional'/>
      <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </disk>

Now, startupPolicy is currently not allowed for iscsi disks, so
one would expect an error message to be thrown. But what a
surprise is waiting for users if they try to start up such
domain:

The problem is, in virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool disk
def->src->auth is freed, but the pointer is not set to NULL. So
later, when qemuProcessStop starts to free the domain definition,
virStorageAuthDefFree() tries to free the memory again, instead
of jumping out immediately.
