I'm wondering if this is really the right level to plug in the metadata
locking ?  What about if we just pass a virLockManagerPtr to the security
drivers and let them lock each resource at the time they need to modify
its metadata. This will trivially guarantee that we always lock the exact
set of files that we'll be changing metadata on.

eg in SELinux driver the virSecuritySELinuxSetFileconHelper method
would directly call virLockManagerAcquire & virLockManagerRelease,
avoiding the entire virDomainLock  abstraction which was really
focused around managing the content locks around lifecycle state
changes.

Regards,
Daniel
