[libvirt] PATCH: Fix thread safety with HAL driver restart

The restart method of the HAL implementation of node device is not 
currently threadsafe, because it destroys and creates the entire
driver, including its mutexes. This patch changes it to simply throw
away all existing devices, and re-load them from dbus.
