[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 44/56] json: Fix latent parser aborts at end of input

[Markus Armbruster]

json-parser.c carefully reports end of input like this:

    token = parser_context_pop_token(ctxt);
    if (token == NULL) {
        parse_error(ctxt, NULL, "premature EOI");
        goto out;
    }

Except parser_context_pop_token() can't return null, it fails its
assertion instead.  Same for parser_context_peek_token().  Broken in
commit 65c0f1e9558, and faithfully preserved in commit 95385fe9ace.
Only a latent bug, because the streamer throws away any input that
could trigger it.

Drop the assertions, so we can fix the streamer in the next commit.
