Subject: [PATCH] newvm: Stop waiting for VM events if install fails

If `virt-install` fails before the VM starts for the first time; the
`virsh event` process running in the background will never terminate and
therefore the main process will `wait` forever.  We can avoid this by
killing the background process if `virt-install` fails.
