[PATCH 3/3] libxl: drop virDomainObj lock when destroying a domain

[Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxx>]

A destroy operation can take considerable time on large memory
domains due to scrubbing the domain' memory.  The operation is
running in the context of a job, so unlocking the domain and
allowing query operations is safe.
