I presume the crash happens after restart of libvirtd. The real bug is
that qemuCaps don't serialize the sev data into the status XML thus the
pointer will be cleared and NULL after libvirtd restart.

The error message reported here is then wrong since the guest/host
support SEV but the data is not available.

The crash would not happen otherwise as the function is guarded by
checking QEMU_CAPS_SEV_GUEST.
