[pve-devel] [RFC/PATCH v2 qemu 2/3] PVE-Backup: ensure jobs in di_list are referenced

[Fabian Ebner]

Ensures that qmp_backup_cancel doesn't pick a job that's already been
freed. With unlucky timings it seems possible that:
1. job_exit -> job_completed -> job_finalize_single starts
2. pvebackup_co_complete_stream gets spawned in completion callback
3. job finalize_single finishes -> job's refcount hits zero -> job is
   freed
4. qmp_backup_cancel comes in and locks backup_state.backup_mutex
   before pvebackup_co_complete_stream can remove the job from the
   di_list
5. qmp_backup_cancel will pick a job that's already been freed
