Alex Jia f228917a5c virsh: Avoid invalid read of size errors
Detected by valgrind. the codes are allocating 0 bytes memory to variable
cpumap by vshCalloc function, and then the function VIR_USE_CPU will access
it later, a invalid read error will be hit.

* tools/virsh.c(cmdVcpuPin): fix invalid read error.

* How to reproduce?
% valgrind -v --read-var-info=yes virsh vcpupin <domain> 0 0

* Actual result:

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
