From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Activating the block devices causes the locks to be taken on
the backing file.  If we're running with -S and the destination libvirt
hasn't started the destination with 'cont', it's expecting the locks are
still untaken.

Don't activate the block devices if we're not going to autostart the VM;
'cont' already will do that anyway.
