[libvirt RFC PATCH 4/5] conf: don't call virDomainDeviceInfoClear from virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML

The DeviceInfo object sent to virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML() was
allocated with g_new0() just prior to the call (although in each case
there is some other code in between, none of it touches the
DeviceInfo); pretty clearly, the call to virDomainDeviceInfoClear() at
the top of virDomainDeviceInfoParseXML() was just overly paranoid
"safety code", and is unnecessary.

Likewise, the call to clear the device info on return when there is a
parse failure is also unnecessary, since in every case the caller
immediately frees the object after the failure.

So let's remove these.
