pluto: get rid of fake_md from aggr_outI1_continue()
Stimulus: Coverity flagged a possible null pointer dereference of
fake_md->smc
I hadn't heard of this crash actually happening. The reason is that
the "result" parameter for complete_v1_state_transition would normally
be STF_IGNORE and the function would return early with no crash. In
theory, STF_INTERNAL_ERROR was possible but probably never happened.
I added a pexpect(e == STF_IGNORE) to aggr_outI1_continue. This
should be replaced by appropriate logging. Unfortunately I no longer
know how to log.
aggr_outI1_continue's call of complete_v1_state_transition is now
hardwired to use STF_IGNORE
complete_v1_state_transition's passert(md != NULL) was moved to avoid
demanding an md when none is needed. (This passert seems silly since
all hardware we run on will catch null pointer dereferences.)
At this point, fake_md became useless. And also md's fake_dne field.
I cannot guarantee that Coverity will see that the NULL dereference is
eliminated.
