[PATCH v2 3/4] secret: Properly handle @def after virSecretObjAdd in driver

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the virSecretObjListAdd technically consumes @def on success,
the secretDefineXML should set @def = NULL immediately and process
the remaining calls using a new @objdef variable. We can use use
VIR_STEAL_PTR since we know the Add function just stores @def in
obj->def.

This fixes a possible double free of @def if the code jumps to
restore_backup: and calls virSecretObjListRemove without setting
def = NULL. In this case, the subsequent call to DefFree would
succeed and free @def; however, the call to EndAPI would also
call DefFree because the Unref done would be the last one for
the @obj meaning the obj->def would be used to call DefFree,
but it's already been free'd because @def wasn't managed right
within this error path.
