Re: [RFC PATCH] conf: check for migration job during domain start

It's possible to hit the following situation during qemu p2p live migration: 1. qemu has live migrated and exited (making virDomainObjIsActive() return false) 2. the live migration job is still in progress, waiting for a confirmation from the remote libvirt daemon. This may last for a while with a presence of networking issues (up to keepalive timeout).

Any attempt to start the domain again would fail with "domain is already being started" message which is misleading in this situation as it doesn't reflect what's really happening. Add a check for the migration job and report a different error message if the migration job is still running.
