Resolve a storage driver crash as a result of a long running

run as a result of when a storageVolUpload completed and ran the

code was currently processing a buildVol after incrementing
the driver->asyncjob count.

The refreshThread will now check the pool asyncjob count before
attempting to pursue the pool refresh. Adjust the documentation
to describe the condition.

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

v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-November/msg00198.html

Changes since v1:
  - From review, remove the retry if Asyncjobs > 0 logic and replace with
    a VIR_DEBUG indicating not doing refresh due to Asyncjob running and
    just goto cleanup.

  - Adjust the virStorageVolUpload docs to note that an attempt will be
    made to refresh the pool.

  - Drop patch 2 which added the Asyncjobs > 0 check to the SCSI pool
    refresh thread. Since a SCSI pool doesn't support buildVol, the
    asyncjob count cannot be anything other than zero, so it's pointless.
