[libvirt] [PATCH 2/4] Avoid create/unlink with block devs used for QEMU save

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is possible to use block devices with domain save/restore. Upon
failure QEMU unlinks the path being saved to. This isn't good when
it is a block device !

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Don't unlink block devices if save fails
