[PATCH v5] libxl: handle failure of xc_version() in libxl_get_version_info()

[PATCH v5] libxl: handle failure of xc_version() in libxl_get_version_info()

[Harmandeep Kaur]

Check the return value of xc_version() and return NULL if it
fails. libxl_get_version_info() can also return NULL now.

Group all calls to xc_version() , so that data copies in
various info fields only if all calls to xc_version work.
This will eliminate cases in which only partial information
is updated.

Callers of the function libxl_get_version_info() are already
prepared to deal with a NULL return value.

v2: Change local variable rc to r. Removes xen_version.
    Better readiblity of blocks of code. Group all calls to
    xc_version() , so that data copies in various info
    fields only if all calls to xc_version go error-free.

v3: Group all calls to xc_version() , so that data copies in
    various info fields only if all calls to xc_version work.

v4: Improve suboptimal subject. Readds xen_version to suit
    re-arrangement.

v5: Change datatype of 'r' from long to int.
