[RFC PATCH] lxc: don't return error on GetInfo when cgroups not yet set up

["Serge E. Hallyn" <serge.hallyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nova (openstack) calls libvirt to create a container, then
periodically checks using GetInfo to see whether the container
is up.  If it does this too quickly, then libvirt returns an
error, which in libvirt.py causes an exception to be raised,
the same type as if the container was bad.

This may not be the best way to handle it, but with this
patch, we assume that a -ENOENT return from virCgroupForDomain
means the cgroups are not yet set up, and so we return the
same values for cpu and memory usage as if the domain was not
active.
