A qemu guest which has virtiofs config fails to start if the previous
starting failed because of invalid option or something.
For example of the reproduction:

   # virsh start guest
   error: Failed to start domain guest
   error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 
qemu-system-x86_64: -foo: invalid option

   ... fix the option ...

   # virsh start guest
   error: Failed to start domain guest
   error: Cannot open log file: 
'/var/log/libvirt/qemu/guest-fs0-virtiofsd.log': Device or resource busy
   #

That's because the virtiofsd which was executed on the former staring remains

s/staring/start ?

and virtlogd keeps to opening the log file.

Stop virtiofsd when the qemu guest fails to start.

If you're adamant into killing 'pid' I suggest to just verify "if (pid)" and
then execute virProcessKillPainfully(), like is being done in 
virPidFileForceCleanupPath()
that is called right before.

Speaking of which, isn't virPidFileForceCleanupPath() responsible of killing
virtiofsd? If that's the case, the function is failing to do so in the scenario
you described, but it will succeed in all other cases. The result is that you'll
end up trying to kill the process twice.

Making a guess about what might be happening, if 'pidfile' does not exist in 
your error
scenario then virPidFileForceCleanupPath() is returning 0 but is doing nothing. 
This is
the case where your code might come in and kill the pid manually.
