The find_desc_by_name() from util/qemu-option.c relies on the .name not being
NULL to call strcmp(). This check becomes unsafe when the list is not
NULL-terminated, which is the case of nbd_runtime_opts in block/nbd.c, and can
result in segmentation fault when strcmp() tries to access an invalid memory:
#0 0x00007fff8c75f7d4 in __strcmp_power9 () from /lib64/libc.so.6

>From gdb, the desc[i].name was not NULL and resulted in strcmp() accessing an
invalid memory:
>>> p desc[5]
$8 = {
name = 0x1037f098 "R27A",
type = 1561964883,
help = 0xc0bbb23e <error: Cannot access memory at address 0xc0bbb23e>,
def_value_str = 0x2 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x2>
}
>>> p desc[6]
$9 = {
name = 0x103dac78 <__gcov0.do_qemu_init_bdrv_nbd_init> "\001",
type = 272101528,
help = 0x29ec0b754403e31f <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x29ec0b754403e31f>,
def_value_str = 0x81f343b9 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x81f343b9>
}
This patch fixes the segmentation fault in strcmp() by adding a NULL element at
the end of nbd_runtime_opts.desc list, which is the common practice to most of
other structs like runtime_opts in block/null.c. Thus, the desc[i].name != NULL
check becomes safe because it will not evaluate to true when .desc list reached
its end.
