vmfex hook: hold a ref for a virDomain object
commit 93feb1c introduced a weakref to virDomain object to avoid
reference cycles. This causes a surprising behaviour: if we do not hold
a reference to virdomain.Notifying, the underlying virDomain is
garbage-collected before being accessed for the first time.
This patch quickly holds a named reference to the domain. I did not find
other pieces of code with the same problem, however, the mechanism seems
dangerously error-prone.
This bug is easily reproduced with
from vdsm import libvirtconnection
c = libvirtconnection.get()
print(c.lookupByName('my-vm').XMLDesc(0))
and "solved" by
from vdsm import libvirtconnection
c = libvirtconnection.get()
v = c.lookupByName('my-vm')
print(v.XMLDesc(0))
