all virDomainObjListFindBy*() functions now increment the reference
count.

Will be locked and the reference counter will be increased after calling

Lock must be held when changing/reading any variable in the virDomainObjPtr
If the lock needs to be dropped & then re-acquired for a short period of
time, the reference count must be incremented first using virDomainObjRef().
There is no need to increase the reference count if qemuDomObjFromDomain()
was used for looking up the domain. In this case there is one reference
already added by that function.
This lock must not be held for anything which sleeps/waits (i.e. monitor
commands).

Since virDomainObjPtr lock must not be held during sleeps, the job
