When restoring a domain from a compressed image, we launch an
intermediate process for decompressing the saved data. If QEMU fails to
load the data for some reason, we force close the stdin/stdout file
descriptors of the intermediate process and wait for it to die. However,
virCommandWait can report various errors which would overwrite the real
error from QEMU. Thus instead of getting something useful:
internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2018-09-17T15:17:29.998910Z qemu-system-x86_64: can't apply global
Skylake-Client-x86_64-cpu.osxsave=off: Property '.osxsave' not found
we could get an irrelevant error message:
internal error: Child process (lzop -dc --ignore-warn) unexpected
fatal signal 13
