I added the comment because as a casual QAPI contributor it's otherwise
not obvious that bogus user input can't reach that case.  Comments are
free.

get_maintainer.pl says there is no maintainer here and references:

"Michael S. Tsirkin" <address@hidden> (commit_signer:3/4=75%)
"Marc-André Lureau" <address@hidden> (commit_signer:2/4=50%)
Markus Armbruster <address@hidden> (commit_signer:1/4=25%)
"Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <address@hidden> (commit_signer:1/4=25%)
Paolo Bonzini <address@hidden> (commit_signer:1/4=25%)

CC'ing those folks.  Unless anyone expresses a strong opinion or trend
towards using g_assert_not_reached(), I'll stick with Markus' style to
only use it in files where g_assert() is already present... or at least
claim that's why I didn't use it ;)  Thanks,

Alex
