This function potentially grabs both a monitor job and an agent job at
the same time. This is problematic because it means that a malicious (or
just buggy) guest agent can cause a denial of service on the host. The
presence of this function makes it easy to do the wrong thing and hold
both jobs at the same time. All existing uses have already been removed
by previous commits.
