[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Fix qemu-nbd cleanup crashes

The virLXCControllerAppendNBDPids function didn't properly initialize pids and npids. In case of failure it was crashing when freeing those. The nbd device pid file doesn't appear immediately after starting qemu-nbd: adding a small loop to wait for it.
