[PATCH] virNetServerProgramDispatchCall: Avoid calling xdr_free(_, NULL)

In recent commit of v8.8.0-41-g41eb0f446c I've suggested during
review to put both xdr_free() calls under error label, assuming
that xdr_free() accepts NULL and thus is a NOP when the control
jumps onto the label even before either of @arg or @ret was
allocated. Well, turns out, xdr_free() does no accept NULL and
thus we have to guard its call. But since @dispatcher is already
set by the time either of the variables is allocated, we can
replace the condition from 'if (dispatche)' to 'if (arg)' and 'if
(ret)'.
