virnetdevmacvlan.c: Introduce mutex for macvlan creation

Currently, after we removed the qemu driver lock, it may happen
that two or more threads will start up a machine with macvlan and
race over virNetDevMacVLanCreateWithVPortProfile(). However,
there's a racy section in which we are generating a sequence of
possible device names and detecting if they exits. If we found
one which doesn't we try to create a device with that name.
However, the other thread is doing just the same. Assume it will
succeed and we must therefore fail. If this happens more than 5
times (which in massive parallel startup surely will) we return
-1 without any error reported. This patch is a simple hack to
both of these problems. It introduces a mutex, so only one thread
will enter the section, and if it runs out of possibilities,
error is reported. Moreover, the number of retries is raised to 20.
