Yes; I think I'd do that in loadvm_postcopy_handle_listen perhaps.
It's a weird case, normally if it fails before 'listen' then we call
cleanup in process_incoming_migration_co,  but after listen we call it
at the bottom of the listen thread.  Here we've got a half-state where
we're trying and failing to enter listen.

Yes, that's OK; it might be better as a separate patch;  I suspect maybe
in an earlier version it had an error case.
