[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 1/4] Use locks to prevent concurrent updates to VMs

If several users try to update the same VM at the same time, an error may happen due to concurrent access. Define a dictionary containing one lock per each VM, and use it when updating the VM: the lock is acquired before the update operation begins and it is released when the operation finishes (whether by success or failure).
