[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] storage: Resolve storage driver crash

Resolve a storage driver crash as a result of a long running
storageVolCreateXML when the virStorageVolPoolRefreshThread is
run as a result of a storageVolUpload complete and ran the
virStoragePoolObjClearVols without checking if the creation
code was currently processing a buildVol after incrementing
the driver->asyncjob count.

The refreshThread needs to wait until all creation threads
are completed so as to not alter the volume list while the
volume is being built.

Crash from valgrind is as follows (with a bit of editing):
