[PATCH 3/4] qemu: Don't return success if creation of snapshot save file fails

[Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the snapshot definition can't be saved, the
qemuDomainSnapshotCreate function succeeded without filling some of the
fields in the internal definition.

This patch removes the snapshot and returns failure if the XML file
cannot be written.
