[libvirt PATCH v4 4/9] virobject: Introduce virObjectLockGuard

[Tim Wiederhake <twiederh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Typical usage:
    void foobar(virObjectLockable *obj)
    {
        VIR_LOCK_GUARD lock = virObjectLockGuard(obj);
        /* `obj` is locked, and released automatically on scope exit */

        ...
    }
