Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: Drop driver lock in libxlDomainDefineXML

There is no need to acquire the driver-wide lock in libxlDomainDefineXML. When switching to jobs in the libxl driver, most driver-wide locks were removed. The locking here was preserved since I mistakenly thought virDomainObjListAdd needed protection. This is not the case, so remove the unnecessary locking.
