Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Zhang Bo 2d27dcb0e9 conf: Fix libvirtd crash and memory leak caused by virDomainVcpuPinDel()
The function virDomainVcpuPinDel() used vcpupin_list to stand for
def->cputune.vcpupin, which made the codes more readable.
However, in this function, it will realloc vcpupin_list later.
As the definition of realloc(), it may free vcpupin_list and then
points it to a new-realloced address, but def->cputune.vcpupin doesn't
point to the new address(it's freed however).
Thus,
1) When we refer to the def->cputune.vcpupin afterwards, which was freed
by realloc(), an INVALID READ occurs, and libvirtd may crash.
2) As no one will use vcpupin_list any more, and no one frees it(it's just
alloced by realloc()), memory leak occurs.

Part of the valgrind logs are shown as below:

==1837==    by 0x171B83: virNetServerProcessMsg (virnetserver.c:172)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) use virDomainPinVcpuFlags() to pin a guest's vcpu to all the pcpus
of the host.

This patch uses def->cputune.vcpupin instead of vcpupin_list to do the
realloc() job, to avoid invalid read or memory leaking.

         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.
