Description of problem:

If the virtual machine migration is canceled before the virt-launcher detects the qemu-kvm process pid, the target virt-launcher is not cleaned up immediately and waits for the qemu-timeout.

It will wait in the refresh monitor here https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/blob/f77d50591ddd0f74c0c876e38fdf14ca3fe54be8/pkg/virt-launcher/monitor.go#L126.

Since the virt-launcher didn't find the pid yet, mon.pid will be always 0, and mon.isDone will be false.

Migration was canceled here:

Then it waits for the qemu pid and finally timeout after qemu-timeout which here is 5m11s:

Although I can also see the message "Signaled target pod virt-launcher-rhel7-quick-halibut-g7kzc to cleanup", it doesn't seem to have any effect here since it is setting receivedEarlyExitSignalEnvVar and is only queried in waitForDomainUUID which is before the refresh monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

OpenShift Virtualization 4.11.2

How reproducible:

100 %

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start a virtual machine migration.
2. Cancel the VM migration. We have to cancel before the virt-launcher detects qemu pid. I was able to reproduce this easily when I cancel the migration immediately after the target pod was scheduled.

Actual results:

Target pod waits for "qemu-timeout" to cleanup after cancelling the VM live migration

Expected results:

Since the user is canceling the migration, it is expected to immediately terminate the resources created for the migration instead of waiting for a timeout to hit.
