I don't think this can work.

I think we need the lock here. This function is called from the event
loop thread. So even if virNetSocketUpdateIOCallback() locks the @socket
this code can see it unlocked. Or locked. But the crucial part is it's
modifying the object and thus should have lock held.

I think this is what actually fixes your problem. However, I also think
it introduces uneven ratio of ref:unref calls.

It definitely does so because you ref twice. Anyway, do you perhaps have
a backtrace to share?
