Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/3] daemon: keep daemon until all hypervisors drivers are cleaned up

This fix SEGV with the backtrace [1]
This happens due to race on simultaneous finishing of libvirtd and
qemu process. We need to keep daemon object until all hypervisor
drivers are cleaned up. The other option is to take reference to
daemon in every hypervisor driver but this will take more work
and we really don't need to. Drivers cleanup procedure is synchronous
thus let's just remove last reference to daemon after drivers cleanup.

I'd like to adjust the commit message just a bit... In particular
removing the "The other option..." sentence.
So the "problem" discovered is that virStateInitialize requires/uses the
"dmn" reference as the argument to the daemonInhibitCallback and by
dereferencing the object too early and then calling the virStateCleanup
which calls the daemonInhibitCallback using the dmn we end up with the SEGV.

Another option would have been to move the above hunk up... Since
setting the daemonStateInit is one of the last things done before
running the event loop, it stands to reason shutting down should be done
in the opposite order thus causing those InhibitCallbacks to be run
perhaps after virNetlinkEventServiceStopAll and before virNetDaemonClose.
Any thoughts to that?
This I assume works, but do we run into "other" issues because we're
running those callbacks after virNetDaemonClose and virNetlinkShutdown?
Of course the "fear" of moving is that it causes "other" timing
issues
with previous adjustments here, in particular:
commit id '5c756e580' and 'a602e90bc1' which introduced and adjusted
driversInitialized
I'm OK with leaving things as is, but perhaps someone else will see this
an comment as well.
