I previously did a workaround for a glib event loop race
that causes crashes:
commit 0db4743645b7a0611a3c0687f834205c9956f7fc
Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com>
Date: Tue Jul 28 16:52:47 2020 +0100
util: avoid crash due to race in glib event loop code
it turns out that the workaround has a significant performance
penalty on I/O intensive workloads. We thus need to avoid the
workaround if we know we have a new enough glib to avoid the
race condition.
