[libvirt PATCH 2/3] rpc: avoid name lookup when dispatching node device APIs

[Daniel P. Berrangé]

The node device APIs are a little unusual because we don't use a
"remote_nonnull_node_device" object on the wire, instead we just
have a "remote_string" for the device name. This meant dispatcher
code generation needed special cases. In doing so we mistakenly
used the virNodeDeviceLookupByName() API which gets dispatched
into the driver, instead of get_nonnull_node_device() which
directly populates a virNodeDevicePtr object.

This wasn't a problem with monolithic libvirtd, as the
virNodeDeviceLookupByName() API call was trivially satisfied
by the registered driver, albeit with an extra (undesirable)
authentication check. With the split daemons, the call to
virNodeDeviceLookupByName() fails in virtqemud, because the
node device driver obviously doesn't exist in that daemon.
