[1] closes gap in virDomainObjListRemove so that concurrent thread can

there is another gap exist:

thread B - executes create API
thread C - executes undefine API

- thread A executes some job on domain
- threads B and C obtains domain from list and wait for job condition
- thread A finishes its job and C grabs job condition, removes domain
 from list and finishes
- thread B grabs job condition and start the domain, unfortunately
 is not in the list already

Unfortunately not all APIs take jobs (yet), but it can't be worse than
it is now ;)  Thanks for the patch,
