[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 qemu] init: daemonize: defuse PID file resolve error

[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. If the file is already gone from QEMU's perspective (i.e.
errno is ENOENT), silently ignore the error. Otherwise, print a
warning.
