Space before bracket, as you are already changing the line.

This change swaps one potential bad pointer for another.

In the former case, there was no guarantee that sdom->vcpu had any
entries in it, potentially making svc a wild pointer.

In the latter case, there is no guarantee that dom->vcpu has been
allocated yet.  You must check d->max_vcpus > 0 before dereferencing
d->vcpu[].
