    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043069
    
    When virDomainDetachDeviceFlags is called concurrently to
    virDomainBlockStats: libvirtd may crash because qemuDomainBlockStats
    finds a disk in vm->def before getting a job on a domain and uses the
    disk pointer after getting the job. However, the domain in unlocked
    while waiting on a job condition and thus data behind the disk pointer
    may disappear. This happens when thread 1 runs
    virDomainDetachDeviceFlags and enters monitor to actually remove the
    disk. Then another thread starts running virDomainBlockStats, finds the
    disk in vm->def, and while it's waiting on the job condition (owned by
    the first thread), the first thread finishes the disk removal. When the
    second thread gets the job, the memory pointed to be the disk pointer is
    already gone.
    
    That said, every API that is going to begin a job should do that before
    fetching data from vm->def.
