Libguestfs - Feb 2012 - [PATCH] daemon: Don't xdr_free uninitialized args struct on error paths.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com>

For stubs of functions that had arguments, code did this:

static void
mount_stub (XDR *xdr_in)
{
  int r;
  struct guestfs_mount_args args;

  if (optargs_bitmask != 0) {
    //...
    goto done;
  }
  // possibly other tests here

  memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);

  [...]

done:
  xdr_free ((xdrproc_t) xdr_guestfs_mount_args, (char *) &args);
  return;
}

This caused xdr_free to be called on uninitialized 'args' struct,
causing a segfault.

The fix is to add another label, so the code looks like:

static void
mount_stub (XDR *xdr_in)
{
  int r;
  struct guestfs_mount_args args;

  if (optargs_bitmask != 0) {
    //...
    goto done_no_free;
  }
  // possibly other tests here

  memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);

  [...]

done:
  xdr_free ((xdrproc_t) xdr_guestfs_mount_args, (char *) &args);
done_no_free:
  return;
}

This fixes commit 330fbea5b2d6bd7db84f7ea7afe87cf1bcd438e0
and commit 0344248af55802bbbd816b349ec1ba9305996f6e.
