[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemuDomainUndefineFlags: unlink nvram file regardless of domain state

Currently, there's a bug when undefining a domain with NVRAM
store. Basically, the unlink() of the NVRAM store file happens
during the undefine procedure iff domain is inactive. So, if
domain is running and undefine is called the file is left behind.
It won't be removed in the domain cleanup process either
(qemuProcessStop). One of the solutions is to remove if
regardless of the domain state and rely on qemu having the file
opened. This still has a downside that if the domain is defined
back the NVRAM store file is going to be new, any changes to the
current one are lost (just like with any other file that is
deleted while a process has it opened). But is it really a
downside?
