Daniel P. Berrange b635baf666 Fix (rare) deadlock in QEMU monitor callbacks
Some users report (very rarely) seeing a deadlock in the QEMU
monitor callbacks

At frame #10 we are holding the domain lock, we call into
qemuProcessStop() to cleanup QEMU, which triggers the monitor
to close, which invokes qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy() which
tries to obtain the domain lock again. This is a non-recursive
lock, hence hang.

Since qemuMonitorPtr is a virObject, the unref call in
qemuProcessHandleMonitorDestroy no longer needs mutex
protection. The assignment of priv->mon = NULL, can be
instead done by the caller of qemuMonitorClose(), thus
removing all need for locking.

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
