[PATCH 1/2] qemuBlockJobProcessEventCompletedPull: Avoid dangling pointer after blockpull

When doing a full block pull job (base == NULL) and the config XML
contains a compatible disk, the completer function would leave a
dangling pointer in 'cfgdisk->src->backingStore' as cfgdisk->src would
be set to the value of 'cfgbase' which was always set to
'cfgdisk->src->backingStore'.

This is wrong though since for the live definition XML we set the
respective counterpart to 'job->data.pull.base' which is NULL in the
above scenario.

This leads to a invalid pointer read when saving the config XML and may
end up in a crash.

Resolve it by setting 'cfgbase' only when 'job->data.pull.base' is
non-NULL.
