I don't think this change or the others that follow are safe.

Consider we have guests, A & B.

Start A which is using autoport and it gets given port 5900
and this is recorded in the port allocator database.

Now start B which has static port, also 5900, and this is
*not* recorded in the port allocator database.

Now B tries to start up and fails, due to clashing port, so now
we run the cleanup code. Your change means we release port 5900,
which is the port belonging to A, not B.

Regards,
Daniel
