[PATCH 3/3] qemu: back up the path in qemuMonitorOpen

In the case of concurrent VM operations, it is possible to have a null pointer
reference in qemuMonitorOpen. In the case of concurrent VM shutdown, the
priv->monconf will be changed in qemuProcessStop. qemuMonitorOpen releases the
lock before calling qemuMonitorOpenUnix and then references priv->monconf. The
path variable in monconf will cause a null pointer, so it's better to back up the
path content in monconf before releasing the lock.
