Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] nodedev: update mdev_types caps before dumpxml

In current implemention, mdev_types caps keep constant all

from its driver).
We should keep the info of xml dumped out consistent with
real status of the device.
The idea is right, we should adjust the capabilities depending on the current
driver the device is bound to, however see my comments below.
The patch doesn't compile and fails syntax-check, before sending patches,
always run make check syntax-check.

I assume this is a copy paste from the other XGetYCaps methods, because this
leaks memory - virNodeDevCapMdevTypeFree should be used here instead.

Although it doesn't make any difference for libvirt, creating new context just
because you need an object of a specific type is not the correct approach, we
already have an existing context in the driver object. Having said that, we
don't make use of the udev's @userdata, therefore you don't even need to ref
it
when you extract it from the nodedev driver object.

The same commentary is already part of udevPCIGetMdevTypesCap, why do we need
it ^here as well?

I guess this might be considered a change for a separate patch, however the
change is tiny and everyone understands what the preprocessor macro means, so
no need to split it really. What needs to be adjusted though is the
indentation because the whole hunk fails syntax-check.
