Commit 28a8699316 ( v6.9.0-179-g28a8699316 ) incorrectly replaced
VIR_EXPAND_N by g_renew.
VIR_EXPAND_N has these two extra effects apart from reallocating memory:
1) The newly allocated memory is zeroed out
2) The number of elements in the array which is passed to VIR_EXPAND_N
is increased.
This comes into play when used with virDomainLeaseInsertPreAlloced,
which expects that the array element count already includes the space
for the added 'lease', by plainly just assigning to
'leases[nleases - 1]'
Since g_renew does not increase the number of elements in the array
any existing code which calls virDomainLeaseInsertPreAlloced thus either
overwrites a lease definition or corrupts the heap if there are no
leases to start with.
To preserve existing functionality we revert the code back to using
VIR_EXPAND_N which at this point doesn't return any value, so other
commits don't need to be reverted.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
