Re: [PATCH for-4.15] tools/xenstored: Avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer if LiveUpdate is failing

In case of failure in do_lu_start(), XenStored will first free lu_start
and then try to dereference it.

This will result to a NULL dereference as the destruction callback will
set lu_start to NULL.

The crash can be avoided by freeing lu_start *after* the reply has been
set.

update")
