[PATCH] remote_daemon: Don't run virStateCleanup() if virStateReload() is still running

When a SIGHUP is received a thread is spawned that runs
virStateReload(). However, if SIGINT is received while the former
thread is still running then we may get into problematic
situation: the cleanup code in main() sees drivers initialized
and thus calls virStateCleanup(). So now we have two threads, one
running virStateReload() the other virStateCleanup(). In this
situation it's very likely that a race condition occurs and
either of threads causes SIGSEGV.

To fix this, unmark drivers as initialized in the
virStateReload() thread for the time the function runs.
