[PATCH FOR 6.8.0] libxl: Don't free def member of virDomainObj
The refactoring in commit de49d5bad3 accidentally dropped the statement
setting def to NULL after successfully adding it to the virDomainObjList,
causing it to be freed while still in use. The resulting memory
corruption caused unpredictable behavior, often resulting in a libvirtd
crash.

Unpredictable is an understatement! When running monolithic libvirtd with
both qemu and xen drviers enabled, qemu crashed while initializing. Recall
it is initialized after xen.
