libvirtd: fix potential deadlock when reloading

Browse Source 
It is possible to deadlock libvirtd when concurrently starting a domain
and restarting the daemon. Threads involved in the deadlock are

Reloading of the nwfilter driver is stuck waiting for a write lock, which
already has a reader (from qemuDomainCreateXML) in the critical section.
Since the reload occurs in the context of the main event loop thread,
libvirtd becomes deadlocked. The deadlock can be avoided by offloading
the reload work to a thread.
