Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] nwfilter: Handle libvirtd restart if nwfilter binding deleted

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1607202 It's stated that if the admin wants to shoot themselves in the foot by removing the nwfilter binding while the domain is running we will certainly allow that. However, in doing so we also run the risk that a libvirtd restart will cause the domain to be shutdown, which isn't a good thing. So add another boolean to virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate which allows us to recover somewhat gracefully in the event the virNWFilterBindingCreateXML fails when we come from qemuProcessReconnect and we determine that the filter has been deleted. It was there at some point (it had to be), but if it's missing, then we don't want to cause the guest to stop running, so issue a warning and continue on.
