[libvirt] [PATCH] build: avoid 32-bit failure on older gcc

On 32-bit platforms with old gcc (hello RHEL 5 gcc 4.1.2), the
build fails with:
virsh-domain.c: In function 'cmdBlockCopy':
virsh-domain.c:2172: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

Adjust the code to silence the warning.

* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCopy): Pacify RHEL 5 gcc.

Pushing under the build-breaker rule.
