This is exactly something I'm afraid of happening... :-(

Though for the long term in the future, ideally maybe we should just forbid
loadvm for more than once (restarting a QEMU instance won't hurt, afaict, or we
really need to be careful on the whole loadvm path, I'm not sure whether
there's any other spots that we didn't notice that won't allow reentrance), or
we should provide some reset helper, so that we won't only destroy partially in
the destroy helper.
