[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Unlock NW filter lock earlier when not necessary
The lock is dropped always at the end of an API, but for example when
attaching devices, there's no point in having the NW filter locked if the
device being attached isn't a network interface. It's always a nice
practice to drop unnecessary locks as soon as possible.

BZ 1181074 reported the daemon to hang (not completely true btw) after trying
to attach /dev/ttyX to a running domain. When going through the code I realized
we acquire a read lock for NW filter, although the device itself is not a network
interface and then releasing it at the end. First clue was that this lock which
won't be unlocked as the thread is blocked in reading header of /dev/ttyX causes
the freeze. As it turned out, the problem resides in calling virsh list afterwards
(Peter already does have some patches prepared), but I think the NW filter might
be released earlier in this case with no harm done.
