The gd_vc_handler() callback is using g_malloc0() to
allocate the CharDriverState struct. As a result the
logfd field is getting initialized to 0, instead of
-1 when no logfile is requested.

The result is that when running

 $ qemu-system-i386 -nodefaults -chardev vc,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0

qemu duplicates all monitor output to stdout as well
as the GTK window.

Not using qemu_chr_alloc() was already a bug, but harmless
until this commit

    qemu-char: add logfile facility to all chardev backends

which exposed the problem as a behaviour regression

A quick check with coccinelle:

@@
typedef CharDriverState;
CharDriverState *x;
@@

- x = g_malloc0(...)
+ x = qemu_chr_alloc(foo)


revealed only this ui/gtk.c allocation plus the actual
implementation of qemu_chr_alloc() as places where we try
to do a manual g_malloc0() of a CharDriverState. So I
think this is the only bit that needs changing.

thanks
