In 78839da I am trying to join the worker threads. However, I can't
sipmly reuse pool->nWorkers (same applies for pool->nPrioWorkers),
because of the following flow that is currently implemented:
1) the main thread executing virThreadPoolFree sets pool->quit = true,
wakes up all the workers and wait on pool->quit_cond.
2) A worker is woken up and see quit request. It immediately jumps of
the while() loop and decrements pool->nWorkers (or pool->nPrioWorkers in
case of priority worker). The last thread signalizes pool->quit_cond.
3) Main thread is woken up, with both pool->nWorkers and
pool->nPrioWorkers being zero.
So there's a need to copy the original value of worker thread counts
into local variables. However, these need to set *after* the check for
pool being NULL (dereferencing a NULL is no no). And for safety they can
be set right after the pool is locked.
