Why did you add a new label here? You build VIR_CLOSE in a way that
allows safe double invocation. Therefore, this is just fine, isn't it:

-    if (close(fd) < 0) {
+    if (VIR_CLOSE(fd) < 0) {
         virReportSystemError(errno,
                              _("cannot save config file '%s'"),
                              configFile);
         goto cleanup;
     }
     ret = 0;

 cleanup:
-    if (fd != -1)
-        close(fd);
+    VIR_CLOSE(fd);
     VIR_FREE(configFile);
     return ret;
 }

This pattern reoccurs several times.
