Ignoring OOM is risky.  If managed_save is NULL, we are out of memory,
and we should fail the command; that's the only time that
qemuDomainManagedSavePath returns NULL.  We don't know if there was a
save file or not.  And even if there was not a file, we'd probably run
out of memory again if we attempt normal setup.
