Alex Jia 9ed534f081 conf: avoid libvirt crash with empty address guestfwd channel
The 'def->target.addr' hasn't been initialized in virDomainChrDefNew() and
its value is always '0xffffffff', in addition, the following test scenario
hasn't also include 'address' element in channel XML block, so the branch
'if (addrStr == NULL)' is hit in virDomainChrDefParseTargetXML(), the
programming jumps to 'error' label to release relevant resources, and the
statement 'if (VIR_ALLOC(def->target.addr) < 0)' hasn't been executed then
the virDomainChrDefFree() will free 'def->target.addr'(0xffffffff) via
VIR_FREE(), which results in libvirt crash, to use valgrind can also
find a 'Invalid free() / delete / delete[]' error. This patch just adjusts
codes order to initialize 'def->target.addr' firstly.

With this patch, libvirt hasn't crash and can get a expected error message "
XML error: guestfwd channel does not define a target address".

How to reproduce?

1. define a guest with the following channel XML configuration

$ cat foo.xml
<snip>
    <channel type='pty'>
      <target type='guestfwd'/>
    </channel>
</snip>

$ virsh define foo.xml

2. actual result

error: Failed to define domain from /tmp/foo.xml
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor

GDB debugger information:
<snip>
Breakpoint 1, virDomainChrDefFree (def=0x7f8ab000ec70) at conf/domain_conf.c:1264
...ignore
1264    {
(gdb) p def->target
$2 = {port = -1, addr = 0xffffffff, name = 0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>}
</snip>

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
