Found by Coverity. Because there's an "if ((cur = strstr(base, "revision"))
!= NULL) {" followed by a "base = cur" coverity notes that 'base' could
then be NULL causing the return to the top of the "while ((tmp_base =
strstr(base, "processor")) != NULL) {" to have strstr deref a NULL 'base'
pointer because the setting of base at the bottom of the loop is unconditional.
Alter the code to set "base = cur" after processing each key. That will
"ensure" that base doesn't get set to NULL if both "cpu" and "revision"
do no follow a "processor".
While a /proc/cpuinfo file that has a "processor" key but with neither
a "cpu" nor a "revision" doesn't seem feasible, the code is written as if
it could happen, so we have to account for it.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
