To reproduce the issue, start virtqemud with polkit auth enabled while
looking at the logs. Run a virsh command which will ask for
authentication.
After providing the password CTRL+C the virsh instance.
Any subsequent connection will get stuck

New subject: [PATCH 2/2] remoteDispatchAuthPolkit: Fix lock ordering deadlock if client closes connection during auth
Locks in following text:
A: virNetServer
B: virNetServerClient
C: daemonClientPrivate
'virNetServerSetClientAuthenticated' locks A then B
'remoteDispatchAuthPolkit' calls 'virNetServerSetClientAuthenticated'
while holding C.
If a client closes its connection 'virNetServerProcessClients' with the
lock A and B locked will call 'virNetServerClientCloseLocked' which will
try to dispose of the 'client' private data by:
ref(b);
unlock(b);
remoteClientFreePrivateCallbacks();
lock(b);
unref(b);
Unfortunately remoteClientFreePrivateCallbacks() tries lock C.
Thus the locks are held in the following order:
polkit auth: C -> A
connection close: A -> C
causing a textbook-example deadlock. To resolve it we can simply drop
lock 'C' before calling 'virNetServerSetClientAuthenticated' as the lock
is not needed any more.
