There were multiple race conditions that could lead to segmentation
faults. The first precondition for this is qemuProcessLaunch must fail
sometime shortly after starting the new QEMU process. The second
precondition for the segmentation faults is that the new QEMU process
dies - or to be more precise the QEMU monitor has to be closed
irregularly. If both happens during qemuProcessStart (starting a
domain) there are race windows between the thread with the event
loop (T1) and the thread that is starting the domain (T2).
First segmentation fault scenario:
If qemuProcessLaunch fails during qemuProcessStart the code branches
to the 'stop' path where 'qemuMonitorSetDomainLog(priv->mon, NULL,
NULL, NULL)' will set the log function of the monitor to NULL (done in
T2). In the meantime the event loop of T1 will wake up with an EOF
event for the QEMU monitor because the QEMU process has died. The
crash occurs if T1 has checked 'mon->logFunc != NULL' in qemuMonitorIO
just before the logFunc was set to NULL by T2. If this situation
occurs T1 will try to call mon->logFunc which leads to the
segmentation fault.
Solution:
Require the monitor lock for setting the log function.

Second segmentation fault scenario:
If qemuProcessLaunch fails it will unref the log context and with
invoking qemuMonitorSetDomainLog(priv->mon, NULL, NULL, NULL)
qemuDomainLogContextFree() will be invoked. qemuDomainLogContextFree()
invokes virNetClientClose() to close the client and cleans everything
up (including unref of _virLogManager.client) when virNetClientClose()
returns. When T1 is now trying to report 'qemu unexpectedly closed the
monitor' libvirtd will crash because the client has already been
freed.
Solution:
As the critical section in qemuMonitorIO is protected with the monitor
lock we can use the same solution as proposed for the first
segmentation fault.

Other code parts where the same problem was possible to occur are
fixed as well (qemuMigrationFinish, qemuProcessStart, and
qemuDomainSaveImageStartVM).
