If a previous Qemu executable is not able to delete the statistic file on the next creation with same name (statitics file are based on pid numbers so if pid get reused for another Qemu process you get the same name) it fails as you can't open a file with 0444 permissions (these are the permission used to create these files). This patch assure there are no stale file trying to remove it before the creation of the new one. As file is based on pid and name used for spice you are not deleting another file.
