This doing a bit more by removing the driver locks from initialization
too.  Perhaps those locks should be kept on Initialization for now and
then in a followup patch remove them since @privateData (or whatever
name it becomes) is then totally self locking.

I don't think we'd run into any deadlocks since Initialization and
Cleanup would still be the only consumers.

Stray keystrokes that should be removed - blame the gremlins.

Although perhaps impossible, better safe than sorry

    if (!priv)
        return;

Do we even need nodeDeviceLock now?  It was removed from Initialize
shouldn't this be after nodeDeviceLock...

how about "unexpected error receiving udev device"

And now the only time we ever use nodeDeviceLock/Unlock in
node_device_udev is in Cleanup...  Does something else prevent Cleanup
from being called while perhaps Initialize is still running? Looking at
libvirtd.c, virStateCleanup can only be called once driversInitialized
is set.  That's only set once virStateInitialize has been run successfully.

Perhaps we should keep it just for this patch and remove in the "next"
patch leaving the goto unlock intact, but modifying it to be :

 unlock:
    if (priv)
        virObjectUnlock(priv);
    nodeDeviceUnlock();

Then the next patch alters the gots's and unlock: label to what this
patch has. It also removes nodeDeviceLock from Cleanup

With a few tweaks:
