In qemuOpenFileAs if we fall into the path where we'll be opening / creating
the file using VIR_FILE_OPEN_FORK, we need to first unlink/delete the file
we created in the first path; otherwise, the attempt by the child process
to open as some specific user:group may fail because the file was already
created using nfsnobody:nfsnobody.
