The name attribute is required for portgroup elements (yes, the RNG
specifies that), and there is code in libvirt that assumes it is
non-null. Unfortunately, the portgroup parsing function wasn't
checking for lack of portgroup. One adverse result of this was that
attempts to update a network by adding a portgroup with no name would
cause libvirtd to segfault. For example:
virsh net-update default add portgroup "<portgroup default='yes'/>"
This patch causes virNetworkPortGroupParseXML to fail if no name is
specified, thus avoiding any later problems.
