[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: remove unneeded locking of driver when restoring

libxlDomainRestoreFlags acquires the driver lock while reading the
domain config from the save file and adding it to
libxlDriverPrivatePtr->domains.  But virDomainObjList provides
self-locking APIs, so remove the needless driver locking.

I noticed this while working on the recent series to improve event handling
in the libxl driver, but it got lost when I reshuffled the patches a bit
before sending to the list.
