If vm->def->cputune.nvcpupin is 0 in libxlDomainSetVcpuAffinities (as seems to be the case on arm) then the VIR_FREE after cleanup: would be operating on an uninitialised pointer in map.map. Fix this by using libxl_bitmap_init and libxl_bitmap_dispose in the appropriate places (like VIR_FREE libxl_bitmap_dispose is also idempotent, so there is no double free on exit from the loop). libxl_bitmap_dispose is slightly preferable since it also sets map.size back to 0, avoiding a potential source of confusion. This fixes the crashes we've been seeing in the Xen automated tests on ARM. I had a glance at the handful of other users of libxl_bitmap and none of them looked to have a similar issue.
