[PATCH 3/3] qemu: fix domain startup failing with 'strict' mode in numatune

[Wang Rui <moon.wangrui@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If the memory mode is specified as 'strict' and with one node, we
get the following error when starting domain.

error: Unable to write to '$cgroup_path/cpuset.mems': Device or resource busy

XML is configured with numatune as follows:
  <numatune>
    <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
  </numatune>

It's broken by Commit 411cea638f6ec8503b7142a31e58b1cd85dbeaba
which moved qemuSetupCgroupForEmulator() before setting cpuset.mems
in qemuSetupCgroupPostInit.

Directory '$cgroup_path/emulator/' is created in qemuSetupCgroupForEmulator.
But '$cgroup_path/emulator/cpuset.mems' it not set and has a default value
(all nodes, such as 0-1). Then we setup '$cgroup_path/cpuset.mems' to the
nodemask (in this case it's '0') in qemuSetupCgroupPostInit. It must fail.

This patch makes '$cgroup_path/emulator/cpuset.mems' is set before
'$cgroup_path/cpuset.mems'. The action is similar with that in
qemuDomainSetNumaParamsLive.
