[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 1/2] nbd: Fix -Werror=maybe-uninitialized warning.

GCC is concerned that if we never go round the loop then fd will be
uninitialized.  By asserting that getaddrinfo set result != NULL we
can avoid this.

nbd.c: In function ‘nbd_open_handle’:
nbd.c:974:5: error: ‘fd’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  974 |     close (fd);
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~
nbd.c:954:7: note: ‘fd’ was declared here
  954 |   int fd;
      |       ^~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
