At the moment object_get_canonical_path() crashes if the object or one
of its parents does not have a parent, for example, a KVM accelerator
object.

This adds a check for obj!=NULL in a loop to prevent the crash.
In order not to return a wrong path, this checks for currently resolved
partial path and does not add a leading slash to tell the reader that
the path is partial as the owner object is detached.

I have not tested the case with obj==NULL and path!=NULL as this is
for objects which have parents which are not attached to the root
and we do not have such objects in current QEMU afaict but I kept it
just in case.

Changes:
v3:
* do not check for obj->parent
* return NULL or incomplete path depending on the situation

I think this is still wrong, as you wouldn't be able to get back these
objects later (e.g. by assigning the result to a link<> property).  I've
posted an alternative patch.
