Nice work (but tedious to review!).
I went through the whole thing this time.

Cool!  You fixed a subtle bug right there.
The old code should have read like this:

       *cred = calloc(ninteract, sizeof(**cred));

Looks like it would have caused heap corruption, since sizeof(*cred)
is smaller than sizeof(**cred).

That can be just

    if (VIR_ALLOC(vgargv) < 0) {

At first I thought it didn't matter that the product wasn't
checked for overflow, but then I spent a couple minutes trying
to find if/where nb_vcpu was guaranteed to be small enough
that we don't have to worry.  There may well be code to ensure
that, but if so, it's too far from this point of use for my taste,
so I think it's best to add an explicit overflow check here, i.e.,

       if (xalloc_oversized(nb_vcpu, cpumaplen) ||
           VIR_ALLOC_N(cpumap, nb_vcpu * cpumaplen) < 0)
           goto done;
