Michal Privoznik 498d7b2bf5 domtop: Properly free cpu status
So, in the example the cpu stats are collected within a function
called do_top. At the beginning of the function we ask the daemon for
how much vCPUs can we get stats, and how many stats for a vCPU can we
get. This is because it's how our API works - users are required to
preallocate a chunk of memory for the results. Now, at the end, we try
to free the allocated array, but we are not doing it correctly.
There's this virTypedParamsFree() function which gets a pointer to the
array and the length of the array. However, if there was an error in
getting vCPU stats we pass a negative number instead of the originally
computed value. This flaw results in SIGSEGV:

libvirt: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running
