When one domain is being undefined and at the same time started, for
example, there is a possibility of a rare problem occuring.
- Thread 1 does virDomainUndefine(), has the lock, checks that the
domain is active and because it's not, calls
virDomainObjListRemove().
- Thread 2 does virDomainCreate() and tries to lock the domain.
- Thread 1 needs to lock domain list in order to remove the domain from
it, but must unlock domain first (proper order is to lock domain list
first and the domain itself second).
- Thread 2 grabs the lock, starts the domain and releases the lock.
- Thread 1 grabs the lock and removes the domain from list.
With this patch:
- The undefining domain gets marked as "to undefine" before it is
unlocked.
- If domain is found in any of the search APIs, it's returned only if
it is not marked as "to undefine". The check is done while the
domain is locked.

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.
