[libvirt] [PATCH] esx_vmx.c: don't dereference a NULL virtualDev

The offending code starts here: int esxVMX_ParseSCSIController(virConnectPtr conn, virConfPtr conf, int controller, int *present, char **virtualDev) { char present_name[32]; char virtualDev_name[32]; if (virtualDev == NULL || *virtualDev != NULL) { ESX_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Invalid argument"); goto failure; } If the virtualDev parameter is NULL, then we'd issue the diagnostic and take the "goto", and (below), dereference NULL.
