Thread-topic: [PATCH]xend: fix dual destroy
After changeset 18030 and 18064 were checked in, I found some issues
when creating HVM domains with devices assigned:

In XendDomainInfo.py, we have the call trace: the global function
create() => vm.start()  => _constructDomain().
In _constructDomain(), we invoke xc.test_assign_device() and when the
function fails (maybe because iommu=1 is not specified in grub entry
since iommu is 0 by defaut now; maybe because the device doesn't exist;
maybe because the device has been assigned, or something) we raise
VmError;
Then start() will invoke self.destroy() and re-raise the exception;
Next, the global create() will invoke vm.destroy() again; finally,
_cleanupVm()  and "self.metrics.destroy()" will be invoked again. Here
when we execute metrics.destroy() for the second time, the deregister()
in XendAPIStore.py will complain: there is no such an element in the
dict __classes and a KeyError exception is raised!

We can avoid the dual destroy by adding a check as follows.
