[PATCH v2 01/27] hypervFreeInvokeParams: Don't use VIR_DISPOSE_N for freeing 'params'

The struct doesn't contain any secrets to clear before freeing and even
if it did VIR_DISPOSE_N wouldn't help as the struct contains only
pointers thus the actual memory pointing to isn't sanitized.

Just free the params array pointer and then the struct itself.
