Peter Krempa ac4b55c99d qemuDomainMasterKeyCreate: Don't use VIR_DISPOSE_N on failure
When virRandomBytes fails we don't get any random bytes and even if we
did they don't have to be treated as secret as they weren't used in any
way.

Add a temporary variable with automatic freeing for the secret buffer
and assign it only on success.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:

https://libvirt.org
