[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu_migration: Avoid crashing if domain dies too quickly

I've noticed a SIGSEGV-ing libvirtd on the destination when the qemu
died too quickly = in Prepare phase. What is happening here is:

1) [Thread 3493] We are in qemuMigrationPrepareAny() and calling
qemuProcessStart() which subsequently calls qemuProcessWaitForMonitor()
and qemuConnectMonitor(). So far so good. The qemuMonitorOpen()
succeeds, however switching monitor to QMP mode fails as qemu died
meanwhile. That is qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() returns -1.

...

 fd=-1
2013-10-08 15:54:10.631+0000: 3262: debug : virEventPollRunOnce:641 : Poll got 1 event(s)

2) [Thread 3262] The event loop is trying to do the talking to monitor.
However, qemu is dead already, remember?

2013-10-08 15:54:13.436+0000: 3262: error : qemuMonitorIORead:551 : Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer
2013-10-08 15:54:13.516+0000: 3262: debug : virFileClose:90 : Closed fd 25
...
2013-10-08 15:54:13.533+0000: 3493: debug : qemuMonitorSend:968 : Send command resulted in error internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:

3) [Thread 3493] qemuProcessStart() failed. No big deal. Go to the
'endjob' label and subsequently to the 'cleanup'. Since the domain is
not persistent and ret is -1, the qemuDomainRemoveInactive() is called.
This has an (unpleasant) effect of virObjectUnref()-in the @vm object.
Unpleasant because the event loop which is about to trigger EOF callback
still holds a pointer to the @vm (not the reference). See the valgrind
output below.

4) [Thread 3262] So the even loop starts triggering EOF:

2013-10-08 15:54:13.542+0000: 3262: debug : qemuMonitorIO:729 : Triggering EOF callback
2013-10-08 15:54:13.543+0000: 3262: debug : qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF:294 : Received EOF on 0x14549110 'migt10'

And the monitor is cleaned up. This results in calling
qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF with the @vm pointer passed. The pointer is
kept in qemuMonitor struct.

The mon->vm is set in qemuMonitorOpenInternal() which is the correct
place to increase @vm ref counter. The correct place to decrease the ref
counter is then qemuMonitorDispose().

It turned out the hack from v1 is no longer needed. In fact, my reasoning there
flavouring the hack was flawed.
