From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

If the qemu-nbd UNIX socket has not shown up, the tests will sleep a bit
and then check again repeatedly for up to 30 seconds. This is pointless
if the qemu-nbd process has quit due to an error, so check whether the
pid is still alive before waiting and retrying.
