Erik Skultety 92e30a4dac mdev: Fix daemon crash on domain shutdown after reconnect
The problem resides in virHostdevUpdateActiveMediatedDevices which gets
called during qemuProcessReconnect. The issue here is that
virMediatedDeviceListAdd takes a pointer to the item to be added to the
list to which VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT is used, which also clears the pointer.
However, in this case only the local copy of the pointer got cleared,
leaving the original pointing to valid memory. To sum it up, during
cleanup phase, the original pointer is freed and the daemon crashes
basically any time it would access it.

Backtrace:
0x00007ffff3ccdeba in __strcmp_sse2_unaligned

         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.
