After 759b4d1b0fe5f we are getting hostname in virLogOnceInit().
Problem with this approach is in the NSS module because the
module calls some internal APIs which occasionally want to log
something. This results in virLogInitialize() to be called which
in turn ends up calling virGetHostnameQuiet() and effectively the
control gets to NSS plugin again which calls some internal APIs
which occasionally want to log something. You can see the
deadlock now.
One way out from this is to turn logging into no-op. Which kind
of makes sense - the NSS module shouldn't log anything. To
achieve this, the virLogVMessage() function is provided with
separate no-op implementation if DISABLE_LOGGING_FOR_NSS macro is
set.
