Title:
  lxc-stop -n unknown-container creates a corrupted container

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running lxc-stop on a container which doesn't exist actually creates
  the container, and messes up its permissions, causing sequences like:

  $ lxc-stop -n foo && lxc-destroy -n foo && lxc-clone clean-machine foo

  ..to fail with bad errors:

  # it definitely doesn't exist to start with:
  % lxc-ls foo

  % lxc-info -n foo
  foo doesn't exist

  % ls ~/.local/share/lxc/foo -al
  ls: cannot access /home/faux/.local/share/lxc/foo: No such file or directory

  # now let's stop it:
  % lxc-stop -n foo
  foo is not running

  # tooling still thinks it doesn't exist:
  % lxc-ls foo                   

  % lxc-info -n foo              
  foo doesn't exist

  # .. but there are some files!
  % ls ~/.local/share/lxc/foo -al
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x 1 faux faux   14 Jul 23 09:45 .
  drwxr-xr-x 1 faux faux 8070 Jul 23 09:45 ..
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 faux faux    0 Jul 23 09:45 foo.log

  # and now lxc-clone is totally broken:
  % lxc-clone base foo
  lxc_container: lxccontainer.c: lxcapi_clone: 2707 Permission denied - open /home/faux/.local/share/lxc/foo/config
  clone failed

  
  Can we worked around by manually rm -rfing ~/.local/share/lxc/foo.
