Daniel P. Berrange 2cb0899eec Fix potential events deadlock when unref'ing virConnectPtr
When the last reference to a virConnectPtr is released by
libvirtd, it was possible for a deadlock to occur in the
virDomainEventState functions. The virDomainEventStatePtr
holds a reference on virConnectPtr for each registered
callback. When removing a callback, the virUnrefConnect
function is run. If this causes the last reference on the
virConnectPtr to be released, then virReleaseConnect can
be run, which in turns calls qemudClose. This function has
a call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn which is intended
to remove all callbacks associated with the virConnectPtr
instance. This will try to grab a lock on virDomainEventState
but this lock is already held. Deadlock ensues

Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fcbb526a840 (LWP 23185)):

Since each callback associated with a virConnectPtr holds a
reference on virConnectPtr, it is impossible for the qemudClose
method to be invoked while any callbacks are still registered.
Thus the call to virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn must in fact
be a no-op. Thus it is possible to just remove all trace of
virDomainEventStateDeregisterConn and avoid the deadlock.
