I don't think this is right, libxl_dominfo_list_free will dispose each
of the array members and then free the memory corresponding to the array
itself. But when info_free is false info is a pointer to a static buffer
on the stack, not to a dynamically allocated array.

Even if the change is correct, it doesn't seem to correspond to the
commit message.
