[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] do not check pointers after dereferencing them

[Paolo Bonzini]

Two instances, both spotted by Coverity.  In one, two blocks were
swapped.  In the other, the check is not needed anymore.

This version of the savevm.c fix is nicer than Stefan's attempt:

I'll drop mine.  I didn't dare to swap the blocks just in case something
dependend on doing the popen() and bailing out afterwards, but it's hard
to imagine that.
