If user forgets to provide any backend types for '-netdev' in qemu CLI,
It triggers seg fault.

e.g.

Expected:
$ qemu -netdev id=net0
qemu-system-x86_64: Parameter 'type' is missing

Actual:
$ qemu -netdev id=net0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Ok, thanks for adding the description!

I think you've got to do it in a slightly different way:

    const char *type = qemu_opt_get(opts, "type");

    if (is_netdev && type && is_help_option(type)) {
        show_netdevs();
        exit(0);
    } else ...

otherwise the "else" branch is not entered anymore in case it is a
non-help netdev option.
