virNWFilterBindingObjListAddLocked: Produce better error message than 'Duplicate...

If there are two concurrent threads, one of which is removing an
nwfilter from the list and the other is trying to add it back they
may serialize in the following order:

1) obj->removing is set and @obj is unlocked.
2) The tread that's trying to add the nwfilter onto the list locks
   the list and tries to find, if the nwfilter already exists.
3) Our lookup functions say it doesn't, so the thread proceeds to
   virHashAddEntry() which fails with 'Duplicate key' error.

This is obviously not helpful error message at all.

The problem lies in our lookup function
(virNWFilterBindingObjListFindByPortDevLocked()) which return
NULL even if the object is still on the list. They do this so
that the object is not mistakenly looked up by some API. The fix
consists of moving 'removing' check one level up and thus
allowing virNWFilterBindingObjListAddLocked() to produce
meaningful error message.
