Commit id '71ce4759' altered the cgroup processing with respect to the
call to virCgroupAddTask being moved out from lower layers into the calling
layers especially for qemu processing of emulator and vcpu threads.

What was missed in the processing was that it is possible for a code path to
return a NULL cgroup *and* a 0 return status via virCgroupNewPartition
failure when virCgroupNewIgnoreError succeeded when virCgroupNewMachineManual
returns. This was initially seen for lxc cgroup processing and patched
by comit id 'ae09988eb'. We'll make the same check here as a subsquent
patch will revert commit id 'a41c00b47' which would leave the possibility
that priv->cgroup is NULL.

Why don't we check for virCgroupNewIgnoreError() in LXC?  If cgroups are
required there, then why *does* the vircgroup code check for that?  I
think we should not call that function here, mainly because
virCgroupNewMachine() calls that every time cgroup creation fails.
Calling this second time probably doesn't hurt now, but could be
potentially problematic in hypothetical future change.

Anyway, I think the proper call codeflow should be:

if (virCgroupNewMachine() < 0)
   goto cleanup;
if (!priv->cgroup)
   goto done;

It's more readable, more error-prone and so on.  Same with LXC.
