[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/1] fixed handling of sourceless disks in 'domblkinfo' cmd

[Pavel Mores]

virDomainGetBlockInfo() returns error if called on a disk with no
source (a sourceless disk might be a removable media drive with no
media in it, for instance an empty CDROM or floppy drive).

So far this caused the virsh domblkinfo --all command to abort and
ignore any remaining (not yet displayed) disk devices.  This patch
fixes the problem by first checking for existence of a <source>
element in the corresponding XML.  If none is found, we avoid calling
virDomainGetBlockInfo() altogether as we know it's bound to fail in
that case.
