I thought the whole point of refreshing the pool in a thread
was to have the storage driver usable for other things.
This effectively disables pool refresh during long-running
jobs.


The refreshThread needs to wait until all creation threads
are completed so as to not alter the volume list while the
volume is being built.

Crash from valgrind is as follows (with a bit of editing):

==21309== Invalid read of size 8
==21309==    at 0x153E47AF: storageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo
==21309==    by 0x153E4C30: virStorageBackendUpdateVolInfo
==21309==    by 0x153E52DE: virStorageBackendVolRefreshLocal
==21309==    by 0x153DE29E: storageVolCreateXML

This is a fault of storageVolCreateXML for using invalid objects
after dropping the locks.
