Redeclared variables in script functions marked as local.
Variables `guest_running` and `guests_shutting_down` in the
functions 'guest_is_on` and `check_guests_shutdown` were
untouched, as the functions returned values in these
variables.

I'm submitting this as my BiteSizedTask for GSoC'20
I've cc'd Martin Kletzander, as he is mentor for this task,
and to ensure that the needful was done by me.


Thanks for sending the patch.

After running `make check`, I received  "PASS: 98 and
SKIP: 7" as the result.
Travis-ci build report can be found at [1].

For my project, 'Introducing job control to the storage driver',
right now I'm going through the `/src/qemu/THREADS.txt` as well
as previous work done by Tucker DiNapoli during GSoC'14, as well
as the proposal of Taowei Luo for GSoC'15. Their email threads
are surely helping me get a better picture of the project.
Apart from this, please let me know if there is anything else,
which could help me with this project. Thansk!


Discussing the project would be a good start.  You're doing well that you're
reading what was done before, but also make sure to check out what is happening
lately.

I'm only quickly looking through the code below, I have nowhere to test it
currently and who knows when I even looked at some libvirt code lately =)

It seems you skipped some functions after the first empty line.

It would be nice to have the info about the variable being local in one place,
at the top of the function.  Most of us are used to our old C ways here, so
keeping this in a similar fashion could be nice.

I understand that this is not an interesting task and it is also one of the
easiest ones, but the idea for that was created when this actually solved a real
bug.  This will probably be a one-off since not much is happening in the script,
but we could have a calmer sleep if the variables are marked properly.

Have a nice day,
Martin
