Log:
  libnv: Fix strict-aliasing violation with cookie
  
  In rS323851, some casts were adjusted in calls to nvlist_next() and
  nvlist_get_pararr() in order to make scan-build happy. I think these changes
  just confused scan-build into not reporting the strict-aliasing violation.
  
  For example, nvlist_xdescriptors() is causing nvlist_next() to write to its
  local variable nvp of type nvpair_t * using the lvalue *cookiep of type
  void *, which is not allowed. Given the APIs of nvlist_next(),
  nvlist_get_parent() and nvlist_get_pararr(), one possible fix is to create a
  local void *cookie in nvlist_xdescriptors() and other places, and to convert
  the value to nvpair_t * when necessary. This patch implements that fix.
