[libvirt] [PATCH v2 4/6] Fix possible memory leak in virsh-domain-monitor.c in cmdDomblklist

In a "for" loop there are created two new strings and they may not be freed if a "target" string cannot be obtained. We have to free the two created strings to prevent the memory leak. This has been found by coverity. John also pointed out that we should somehow care about the "type" and "device" and Osier agreed to exit with error message if one of them is set to NULL.
