[libvirt] [PATCH] lxc_controller.c: don't ignore failed "accept"

coverity complained (rightly) about the risk of closing a negative
file descriptor.  However, the real problem was the missing test
for a failed "accept" call.  I'm not 100% sure that a failed
accept call deserves to provoke a "goto cleanup", but doing that
is consistent with what the nearby code does upon epoll_ctl failure.

Subject: [PATCH] lxc_controller.c: don't ignore failed "accept"

* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (lxcControllerMain): A failed accept could
lead to passing a negative file descriptor to various other functions,
which would in turn report EBADF, rather that whatever error prompted
the initial failure.
