  lxc-ls shows wrong status

Bug description:
  =========================
  SRU Justification:
  1. Impact: standard lxc-tools do not work (transparently) with autostarted containers.  Importantely, a duplicate container can be started.
  2. Development fix: make sure to start containers (in lxc-instance) such that their command sockets are not in an "anonymous" lxcpath.
  3. Stable fix: same as development fix.
  4. Test case:  Create an autostart container;  start it with lxc-instance;  look for it with lxc-ls.
  5. Regression potential:  Incorrectly setup autostart containers may no longer start with a fix.  (the /etc/autostart/$name link must be a symbolic link to /var/lib/lxc/$name/config)
  ==========================

  
  I just upgraded to ubuntu saucy and found a strange behaviour. The command lxc-ls doesn't show the correct status of running machines.

  as you can see my output for jenkins is "stopped", but I am logged
  into the system (jenkins) at the very same moment, so it is running. I
  can also do thinks within the virtual machine, but the status doesn't
  change.

  
  # lxc-ls --fancy
  NAME       STATE    IPV4  IPV6  AUTOSTART
  -----------------------------------------
  jenkins    STOPPED  -     -     NO
  php-54-32  STOPPED  -     -     NO
  test       STOPPED  -     -     NO
