The following pattern was duplicated in CConnman:
```cpp
lock
create a copy of vNodes, add a reference to each one
unlock
... use the copy ...
lock
release each node from the copy
unlock
```
Put that code in a RAII helper that reduces it to:
```cpp
create snapshot "snap"
... use the copy ...
// release happens when "snap" goes out of scope
```
This is a partial backport of core#21943
