[libvirt] [PATCH v2 3/3] qemu: agent: take monitor lock in qemuAgentNotifyEvent

qemuAgentNotifyEvent accesses monitor structure and is called on qemu
reset/shutdown/suspend events under domain lock. Other monitor
functions on the other hand take monitor lock and don't hold domain lock.
Thus it is possible to have risky simultaneous access to the structure
from 2 threads. Let's take monitor lock here to make access exclusive.

John, I decided to formulate patch purpuse this way as I doubt we
can have actual signalling race here becase shutdown/suspend functions
first set await_event and then send message to agent which in turn causes
the event that qemuAgentNotifyEvent handles.
