[PATCH 1/4] virInterfaceObjListAssignDef: Transfer definition ownership

[Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Upon successful return from virInterfaceObjListAssignDef() the
virInterfaceObj is the owner of secret definition. To make this
ownership transfer even more visible, lets pass the definition as
a double pointer and use g_steal_pointer().
