Then maybe the simplest fix is to drop the RETURN_CHECK on the setup
function?

I just wanted to make sure we have something in the log if cleanup goes
wrong - it's unlikely, but that's exactly the case where having more
information instead of less in the logs can help in deciphering what
happened when things do go wrong, and how badly the system might have
been compromised as a result of failure to clean up.  It's fine with me
if you can show that there was a warning emitted earlier in the call
chain, so that a VIR_WARN on the cleanup path is redundant.

What you pushed looks fine to me.
