Unlike `waitpid`, `virProcessWait` only returns -1 (error) or 0
(success), so comparing that to `pid` will always be false and the
parent will report failure with:
error : main:851 : Failed to fork as daemon: No such file or directory
even though the grandchild process is succesfully running. Note that the
errno message is misleading: it was last set when trying to find a
restart state file.
