Adding recursive locks to virObject* was already rejected once before:

When you added RWLock's in commit '77f4593b' (afterwards) - I began
thinking - hey the NWFilter code could use those. So I essentially
ditched the effort that used trylock:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg00673.html

in favor of one that used RWLocks:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-October/msg00264.html

Unlike previous alterations to driver/vir*objlist code - I found that I
needed to change the vir*Obj before changing the vir*ObjList, although I
have forgotten why at this point. Eventually I also discovered why
avocado test was causing libvirtd to go defunct (as noted in the cover
of the v3). That was due to the way the test restarts libvirtd prior to
each run and an unrelated issue in nodedev w/r/t initialization, see:
