Nikolay Shirokovskiy f647a4b8dd qemu: fix one more race on undefining and create
[1] closes gap in virDomainObjListRemove so that concurrent thread can
not step in and obtain the domain while domain is temporary unlocked. But
there is another gap exist:

thread B - executes create API
thread C - executes undefine API

- thread A executes some job on domain
- threads B and C obtains domain from list and wait for job condition
- thread A finishes its job and C grabs job condition, removes domain
  from list and finishes
- thread B grabs job condition and start the domain, unfortunately
  is not in the list already

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
