[PATCH v3 3/3] secret: Handle object list removal and deletion properly

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rather than rely on virSecretObjEndAPI to make the final virObjectUnref
after the call to virSecretObjListRemove, be more explicit by calling
virObjectUnref and setting @obj to NULL for secretUndefine and in
the error path of secretDefineXML. Calling EndAPI will end up calling
Unlock on an already unlocked object which has indeteriminate results
(usually an ignored error).

The virSecretObjEndAPI will both Unref and Unlock the object; however,
the virSecretObjListRemove would have already Unlock'd the object so
calling Unlock again is incorrect. Once the virSecretObjListRemove
is called all that's left is to Unref our interest since that's the
corrollary to the virSecretObjListAdd which returned our ref interest
plus references for each hash table in which the object resides. In math
terms, after an Add there's 2 refs on the object (1 for the object and
1 for the list). After calling Remove there's just 1 ref on the object.
For the Add callers, calling EndAPI removes the ref for the object and
unlocks it, but since it's in a list the other 1 remains.
