Jim Fehlig de1e0ae0e3 virtlockd: Don't report error if lockspace exists
When the qemu or libxl driver is configured to use lockd and
file_lockspace_dir is set, virtlockd emits an error when libvirtd
is retarted

May 25 15:44:31 virt81 virtlockd[7723]: Requested operation is not
valid: Lockspace for path /data/libvirtd/lockspace already exists

There is really no need to fail when the lockspace already exists,
paricularly since the user is expected to create the lockspace
specified in file_lockspace_dir. Failure to do so will prevent
starting any domains

virsh start test
error: Failed to start domain 'test'
error: Unable to open/create resource /data/libvirtd/lockspace/de22c4bf931e7c48b49e8ca64b477d44e78a51543e534df488b05ccd08ec5caa: No such file or directory

Also, virLockManagerLockDaemonSetupLockspace already has logic to ignore
the error. Since callers are not interested in the error, change
virtlockd to not report or return an error when the specified lockspace
already exists.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
