[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu] init: daemonize: defuse PID file resolve error to warning

[Fiona Ebner]

When proxmox-file-restore invokes QEMU, the PID file is a (temporary)
file that's already unlinked, so resolving the absolute path here
failed.

It should not be a critical error when the PID file unlink handler
can't be registered, because the path can't be resolved for whatever
reason. Just turn it into a warning instead.
