If we are in libvxl_list_vcpu() and we are returning NULL, let's avoid
touching the output parameter *nr_vcpus_out (which should contain the
number of vcpus in the list). Ideally, the caller initialized it to 0,
which is therefore consistent with us returning NULL (or, as an alternative,
we can explicitly set it to 0 if we're returning null... But just not
touching it seems the best behavior).

In fact, the current behavior is especially problematic if, for
instance, a domain is destroyed after we have done some steps of the
for() loop. In which case, calls like xc_vcpu_getinfo() or
xc_vcpu_getaffinity() will start to fail, and we return back to the
caller inconsistent information, such as a NULL list of vcpus, but a
modified and not 0 any longer, number of vcpus in the list.
