[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix initial VCPU pinning in qemu driver

First, inital VCPU pinning is set correctly but then it is reset by
assigning qemu process to a new cgroup (which contains all CPUs). It's
easily fixed by swapping these two actions.

Originally, I thought it would be better to change the initial pinning
at cgroup level but then I realized it was not a good idea. AFAIK cgroup
olny works for processes and is not usable for per-VCPU pinning. That
is, it is fine to have all CPUs in cgroup and fine tune VCPU pinning by
setting procss affinity.
