It's possible for {load,save}_cleanup SaveVMHandlers to get called without
the corresponding {load,save}_setup handler being called first.

One such example is if {load,save}_setup handler of a proceeding device
returns error.
In this case the migration core cleanup code will call all corresponding
cleanup handlers, even for these devices which haven't had its setup
handler called.

Since this behavior can generate some surprises let's clearly document it
in these SaveVMHandlers description.
