When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was

After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
uninitialized pointer.
Debian stable is shipping 0.8.2. I checked and it seems this version
isn't affected siince we properly remove the message from the queue
before looking at it in daemon/libvirtd.c. I'd be great if somebody
could double check though!

This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.
