[PATCH] virdomainjob: preserveJob: memdup the cb structure instead of copying it

In case of variable 'oldjob' (job structure) in
qemuProcessReconnect() the init function was not called and the
cb pointer was just copied from the existing job structure in
virDomainObjPreserveJob(). This caused that the job and oldjob
had the same pointer, which was later freed at the end of the
qemuProcessReconnect() function by automatic call to
virDomainObjClearJob().
This caused an invalid read in case of a daemon crash as the job
structure was trying to read cb which had been already freed.

This patch changes the copying to g_memdup that allocates
different pointer, which can be later safely freed.
