Let me take you on a short trip to history. A long time ago, libvirt would configure all QEMUs to use $hugetlbfs/libvirt/qemu for their hugepages setup. This was problematic, because it did not allow enough separation between guests. Therefore in v3.0.0-rc1~367 the path changed to a per-domain basis: $hugetlbfs/libvirt/qemu/$domainShortName And to help with migration on daemon restart a call to qemuProcessBuildDestroyMemoryPaths() was added to qemuProcessReconnect() (well, it was named qemuProcessBuildDestroyHugepagesPath() back then, see v3.10.0-rc1~174). This was desirable then, because the memory hotplug code did not call the function, it simply assumes per-domain paths to exist. But this changed in v3.5.0-rc1~92 after which the per-domain paths are created on memory hotplug too. Therefore, it's no longer necessary to create these paths in qemuProcessReconnect(). They are created exactly when needed (domain startup and memory hotplug).
