Re: [PATCH v2 0/8] Don't hold both monitor and agent jobs at the same time

We have to assume that the guest agent may be malicious, so we don't want to allow any agent queries to block any other libvirt API. By holding a monitor job and an agent job while we're querying the agent, any other threads will be blocked from using the monitor while the agent is unresponsive. Because libvirt waits forever for an agent response, this makes us vulnerable to a denial of service from a malicious (or simply buggy) guest agent. Most of the patches in the first series were already reviewed and pushed, but a couple remain: the filesystem info functions. The problem with these functions is that the agent functions access the vm definition (owned by the domain). If a monitor job is not held while this is done, the vm definition could change while we are looking up the disk alias, leading to a potentional crash. This series tries to fix this by moving the disk alias searching up a level from qemu_agent.c to qemu_driver.c. The code in qemu_agent.c will only return the raw data returned from the agent command response. After the agent response is returned and the agent job is ended, we can then look up the disk alias from the vm definition while the domain object is locked. In addition, a few nearby cleanups are included in this series, notably changing to glib allocation API in a couple of places.
