When libgfapi used by libvirtd, the glfs_init and     glfs_fini will call two times with start or stop virtual machine, and with other libvirt command like virsh domblkinfo which will visit glusterfs api, SO, as long as libvirtd start and stop vm, the libvirtd process will leak large memory, about 1.5G memory consume by 100 times call  glfs_init and     glfs_fini
