tools: libxc: fix Remus failover regression

commit: c2ba706c "tools/libxc: goto correct label on error paths" by Andrew
Cooper broke Remus in Xen 4.4 or earlier versions that has this commit
backported.

With Remus, this jump essentially discards the current incomplete checkpoint
received by the backup and restore backup from the last complete checkpoint.
This is required for Remus to work and this does not break live migration.  It
has been around since Xen 4.0.
