Subject: libxl: fix crash in helper_done due to uninitialized data

A crash in helper_done, called from libxl_domain_suspend, was reported,
triggered by 'virsh migrate --live xen+ssh://host':

#1 helper_done (...) at libxl_save_callout.c:371
  helper_failed
  helper_stop
  libxl__save_helper_abort
 #2 check_all_finished (..., rc=-3) at libxl_stream_write.c:671
  stream_done
  stream_complete
  write_done
  dc->callback == write_done
  efd->func == datacopier_writable
 #3 afterpoll_internal (...) at libxl_event.c:1269

This is triggered by a failed poll, the actual error was:

libxl_aoutils.c:328:datacopier_writable: unexpected poll event 0x1c on fd 37 (should be POLLOUT) writing libxc header during copy of save v2 stream

In this case revents in datacopier_writable is POLLHUP|POLLERR|POLLOUT,
which triggers datacopier_callback. In helper_done,
shs->completion_callback is still zero. libxl__xc_domain_save fills
dss.sws.shs. But that function is only called after stream_header_done.
Any error before that will leave dss partly uninitialized.

Fix this crash by checking if ->completion_callback is valid.
