When vcpu placement is "auto", the domain process will be pinned to advisory nodeset from querying numad, While emulatorpin will override the pinning. That means both of them are to set the pinning policy for domain process, but conflicts with each other. This patch ingore emulatorpin if vcpu placement is "auto", because <vcpu> placement can't be simply ignored for <numatune> placement could default to it.
