[PATCH] virdomainjob: virDomainObjInitJob: Store a copy of virDomainObjPrivateJobCallbacks

[Peter Krempa]

'virDomainObjPrivateJobCallbacks' is passed into the job object by
copying a pointer from the 'virDomainXMLOption' struct passed in from
the caller. Unfortunately the 'virdomainjob' module can't control the
lifetime of the virDomainXMLOption, which in some cases is freed before
the domain job data.

To avoid dereferencing freed memory create a copy of the struct holding
the private job callbacks.

This is a naive attempt to fix a crash reported on the upstream mailing
list

https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-September/234310.html

Note that I didn't analyze the code in that series in detail, I just
debugged the visible misbehaviour.

CI pipeline now passes even on OpenSUSE:
