c6f5dd7ac8ef62dcdec4cdeda1467c658161afff qga: Don't daemonize before channel is initialized
If the agent is set to daemonize but for whatever reason fails to
init the channel, the error message is lost. Worse, the agent
daemonizes needlessly and returns success. For instance:
# qemu-ga -m virtio-serial \
-p /dev/nonexistent_device \
-f /run/qemu-ga.pid \
-t /run \
-d
# echo $?
0
This makes it needlessly hard for init scripts to detect a
failure in qemu-ga startup. Though, they shouldn't pass '-d' in
the first place.
Let's open the channel first and only after that become a daemon.
