If starting an container fails, the virLXCProcessStop() is called. But since vm->def->id is not set until libvirt_lxc is spawned (the domain's ID is PID of that process), virLXCProcessStop() returns early as virDomainObjIsActive() returns false. But doing so leaves behind resources reserved for the containers during the startup process. Most notably, hostdevs are not re-attached to the host, the domain's transient XML is not removed, etc.
To resolve this, virLXCProcessCleanup() is called in this case. However, it is modified to accept @flags which allows caller to run only specific cleanups (depending how far in container creation the failure occurred). There is plenty of cleanups which don't need this guard because either they detect a NULL pointer or try to release an unique resource.
