[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix crash in SELinuxSecurityVerify

When attempting to edit a domain, libvirtd segfaulted in
SELinuxSecurityVerify() on this line:

  if (!STREQ(virSecurityManagerGetModel(mgr), secdef->model)) {

because secdef->model was NULL. Although I'm too tired to investigate
in depth, I noticed that all the other functions in that file that do
the same STREQ() will first check that def->seclabel.label is
non-NULL, but this function doesn't. I also noticed that label *is*
NULL in my case, so I tried adding that check to
SELinuxSecurityVerify(), and the crash goes away.

I have no idea if this is the correct fix, but it allowed me to
continue my testing of a new (unrelated) feature.
