[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] mdev: Fix daemon crash on domain shutdown after reconnect

[Erik Skultety]

The problem resides in virHostdevUpdateActiveMediatedDevices which gets
called during qemuProcessReconnect. The issue here is that
virMediatedDeviceListAdd takes a pointer to the item to be added to the
list to which VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT is used, which also clears the pointer.
However, in this case only the local copy of the pointer got cleared,
leaving the original pointing to valid memory. To sum it up, during
cleanup phase, the original pointer is freed and the daemon crashes
basically any time it would access it.

Backtrace:
0x00007ffff3ccdeba in __strcmp_sse2_unaligned
