Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 01/12] qemu: refactor blockinfo job handling

In order for a future patch to virDomainListGetStats to reuse some code for determining disk usage of offline domains, we need to make it easier to pull out part of the guts of grabbing blockinfo. The current implementation grabs a job fairly late in the game, while getstats will already own a job; reordering things so that the job is always grabbed up front in both functions will make it easier to pull out the common code. This patch results in grabbing a job in cases where one was not previously needed, but as it is a query job, it should not be noticeably slower. This patch touches the same code as the fix for CVE-2014-6458 (commit b799259); in that patch, we avoided hotplug changing a disk reference during the time of obtaining a monitor lock by copying all data we needed and no longer referencing disk; this patch goes the other way and ensures that by holding the job, the disk cannot be changed so we no longer need to worry about the disk being invalidated across the monitor lock. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Rearrange job control to be outside of disk information.
