Daniel P. Berrange 9774343564 remote: Avoid the thread race condition
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:

==23687==    by 0x41071E: main (virsh.c:3022)

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.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
