[PATCH] qemuDomainWaitForDeviceRemoval: recheck the value of priv->unplug.alias when timeout

When detaching a device, the following race condition may happen: Once qemuDomainSignalDeviceRemoval() marks the device for removal, it returns true, which means it is the caller that marked the device for removal is going to remove the device from domain definition. But qemuDomainWaitForDeviceRemoval() may still receive timeout from virDomainObjWaitUntil() which is implemented by pthread_cond_timedwait() due to an unavoidable race between the expiration of the timeout and the predicate state(priv->unplug.alias) change. And then qemuDomainWaitForDeviceRemoval() will return 0, thus the caller will not remove the device from domain definition. In this situation, the device is still present in the domain definition but doesn't exist in qemu anymore. Worse, there is no way to remove it from the domain definition. Solution is to recheck the value of priv->unplug.alias to determine who is going to remove the device from domain definition.
