[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/4] net: Fix a potential segfault

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

From: Lin Ma <lma@suse.com>

If user forgets to provide any backend types for '-netdev' in qemu CLI,
It triggers seg fault.

e.g.

Expected:
$ qemu -netdev id=net0
qemu-system-x86_64: Parameter 'type' is missing

Actual:
$ qemu -netdev id=net0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fixes: 547203ead4327 ("net: List available netdevs with "-netdev help")
