It's possible via libvirt for a user to request an explicit socket path
that qemu lacks permissions to unlink, but the error that's reported
is from bind(2), 'Address already in use'
bind(2) will fail if the unix socket path already exists, so we need to
unlink first. But we should report the unlink failure
