It is also similar to virProcessAbort, although the two differ on how
long to wait between SIGTERM and an eventual SIGKILL.  Maybe those
should be consolidated in a later patch?

Why are you changing this from ignore_value() into a cleanup path on
failure?

The move looks okay if you can answer my question about the
ignore_value() change.
