[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix libvirtd free() segfault when migrating guest with deleted open vswitch port

[Jason J. Herne]

libvirtd crashes on free()ing portData for an open vswitch port if that port
was deleted.  To reproduce:

ovs-vsctl del-port vnet0
virsh migrate --live kvm1 qemu+ssh://dstHost/system

Error message:
libvirtd: *** Error in `/usr/sbin/libvirtd': free(): invalid pointer: 0x000003ff90001e20 ***

The problem is that virCommandRun can return an empty string in the event that
the port being queried does not exist. When this happens then we are
unconditionally overwriting a newline character at position strlen()-1. When
strlen is 0, we overwrite memory that does not belong to the string.

The fix: Only overwrite the newline if the string is not empty.
