[libvirt] [PATCH] util: fix heap-buffer-overflow in virFileWrapperFdFree

From: Jing Wu <wujing42 at huawei.com>

Some functions like doCoreDump call virFileWrapperFdNew to execute async
cmds, if a step after virFileWrapperFdNew failed, the func may skip
virFileWrapperFdClose and jump to cleanup label to call
virFileWrapperFdFree directly. If the child process of the cmd is running
and asyncioThread is polling, cmd->errbuf have been alloced at least one
byte but not yet operate (*cmd->errbuf)[errlen] = '\0', access of
wfd->err_msg in virFileWrapperFdFree at this time will cause risk of
heap-buffer-overflow.
So, we need to put VIR_WARN(wfd->err_msg) after VIR_FREE(wfd->err_msg).
Besides, since virCommandFree has included virCommandAbort, there is no
need to call virCommandAbort extraly.
