Live migration should also work with object cache. But currently, you'll
have to manually remove the cache after VM is migrated.

For example, you want to lively migrate VM named 'test.
 - do live migration using QEMU command on node A
 - after VM is migrated, use 'collie vdi list' to get the VDI ID of
test, for e.g, it might be 'fd32fc'
 - manually remove /store/cache/fd32fc directory. Done.
