We have to assume that the guest agent may be malicious so we don't want

monitor job while we're querying the agent, we open ourselves up to a
DoS.

This function does not issue any monitor commands, so we can drop the
monitor job and only hold an agent job.

While this is true, the reason I've added BeginJobWithAgent() call is that qemuAgentGetFSInfo() works with vm->def which may change beneath our hands since we wouldn't be taking a vm job. This is potentially dangerous and may lead to a crash (as @vm is unlocked and not guarded by any job). What we need to do is to create a copy of vm->def and pass that to qemuAgentGetFSInfo(). However, creating a copy of domain definition is very expensive - esp. when the agent monitor function needs only a list of disk targets. So we might construct the list beforehand and pass that to the function. Then taking only agent job is going to be okay.

I won't push this one, sorry.
