[libvirt] [PATCH] xen: fix memory corruption in legacy driver
Commit 632180d1 introduced memory corruption in xenDaemonListDefinedDomains
by starting to populate the names array at index -1, causing all sorts
of havoc in libvirtd such as aborts like the following
*** Error in `/usr/sbin/libvirtd': double free or corruption (out): 0x00007fffe00ccf20
***

Fix by initializing ret to 0 and only setting to error on failure path.
