Currently iohelper's error log is recorded in virFileWrapperFdClose. In qemuDomainSaveMemory, it usually fails at qemuMigrationSrcToFile, and then goto cleanup, so the iohelper error log is not recorded, and so is the another placement. We now record the error log of iohelper by move it to the virFileWrapperFdFree record. And for the virCommandWait() - we should call virCommandAbort() in virFileWrapperFdFree() to make sure no process is left behind. If virCommandWait() is called then virCommandAbort() is a NO-OP. If it isn't, then Abort() will kill iohelper.
