[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Revert "qapi: Clean up superfluous null check in qapi_dealloc_type_str()"

[Peter Lieven]

This reverts commit 25a7017555f1b4aeb543b5d323ff4afb8f9c5437.

Turns out the argument *can* be null: QEMU now segfaults if it
receives an invalid parameter via a qmp command instead of throwing an
error.

For example:
{ "execute": "blockdev-add",
     "arguments": { "options" : { "driver": "invalid-driver" } } }
