This MUST have the check for job - it is talking to a monitor and
therefore @dom is locked and unlocked meanwhile. You can take a look at
qemuDomainGetStatsBlock() what the check should look like.

Worse, since you moved acquiring the job here, this will fail miserably
when running all stats for a domain. Because the code works like this:

1) it calls qemuDomainGetStatsNeedMonitor() to figure out if monitor is
needed and if it is a job is started,
2) it iterate over all stats callbacks,
3) this function is reached which tries to set the job again.

s/false/true/   The function you're calling does require access to the
monitor.
