[Libvir] [PATCH] avoid virsh hang due to missing virDomainFree(dom) call

Without the following patch, this command would hang

    printf 'domuuid fc4\ndomstate fc4\n' \
      | ./virsh --connect test://$PWD/../docs/testnode.xml

with this stack trace:

    __lll_lock_wait ...
    _L_lock_105 ...
    __pthread_mutex_lock ...
    virUnrefDomain (domain=0x6a8b30) at hash.c:884
    virDomainFree (domain=0x6a8b30) at libvirt.c:1211
    cmdDomstate (ctl=0x7fffea723390, cmd=0x6a8b10) at virsh.c:677
    vshCommandRun (ctl=0x7fffea723390, cmd=0x6a8b10) at virsh.c:4033
    main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffea7234e8) at virsh.c:5015

The problem is that cmdDomuuid didn't call virDomainFree(dom), so
cmdDomstate hangs trying to do the Unref.

I then did a mind-numbing audit of all of the other cmd* functions in
virsh.c and found two other cases in which a "dom" may not be released.

Here's the patch:

	Avoid virsh hang due to missing virDomainFree(dom) calls
	* src/virsh.c (cmdDomuuid): Add missing virDomainFree call.
	(cmdAttachDevice): Likewise.
	(cmdDetachDevice): Likewise.
