I looked through what you were suggesting.
I was assuming virNetSocketGetFD()would do a NULL check for the sock arg,
and would return immediately if a different client executed a
virNetServerClientClose() setting client->sock to null.
Since this check is missing, I understand the implicit assumption is to
always have virNetServerClientGetFD() lock the client, and consequently, I
will rearrange debug messages around to prevent lock contention.
Sending out a V2.

This change is not justified in any way. Also looks wrong. You can't
access an unlocked object.

NACK using warnings instead of debug messages is not desired. For debug
purposes you should use debug logs.
