Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

John Ferlan 48ad600916 util: Fix domain object leaks on closecallbacks
Originally/discovered proposed by "Wang King <king.wang@huawei.com>"

When the virCloseCallbacksSet is first called, it increments the refcnt
on the domain object to ensure it doesn't get deleted before the callback
is called. The refcnt would be decremented in virCloseCallbacksUnset once
the entry is removed from the closeCallbacks has table.

When (mostly) normal shutdown occurs, the qemuProcessStop will end up
calling qemuProcessAutoDestroyRemove and will remove the callback from
the list and hash table normally and decrement the refcnt.

However, when qemuConnectClose calls virCloseCallbacksRun, it will scan
the (locked) closeCallbacks list for matching domain and callback function.
If an entry is found, it will be removed from the closeCallbacks list and
placed into a lookaside list to be processed when the closeCallbacks lock
is dropped. The callback function (e.g. qemuProcessAutoDestroy) is called
and will run qemuProcessStop. That code will fail to find the callback
in the list when qemuProcessAutoDestroyRemove is called and thus not decrement
the domain refcnt. Instead since the entry isn't found the code will just
return (mostly) harmlessly.

This patch will resolve the issue by taking another ref during the
search UUID process during virCloseCallackRun, decrementing the refcnt
taken by virCloseCallbacksSet, calling the callback routine and returning
overwriting the vm (since it could return NULL). Finally, it will call the
virDomainObjEndAPI to lower the refcnt and remove the lock taken during
the search UUID processing. This may cause the vm to be destroyed.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
