[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] remote: Avoid the thread race condition
From: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com>
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866524
Since the virConnect object is not locked wholely when doing
virConenctDispose, a thread can get the lock and thus might
cause the race.
Detected by valgrind:

The above race is caused by the eventLoop thread tries to handle
the net client event by calling the callback set by:
virNetClientSetCloseCallback(priv->client,
remoteClientCloseFunc,
conn, NULL);
I.E. remoteClientCloseFunc, which lock/unlock the virConnect object.
This patch is to fix the bug by setting the callback to NULL when
doRemoteClose.
