As we move to finer grained locking in libvirt, we're increasingly having
one mutex per functional object. In this case the virSecurityManagerPtr
objects. If there are multiple security manager objects then there is no
clarity on locking rules for the global variables which are disassociated
from the rest of the state that is being maintained.
