[PATCH] rpc: Fix client crash on connection close

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A multi-threaded client with event loop may crash if one of its threads
closes a connection while event loop is in the middle of sending
keep-alive message (either request or response). The right place for it
is inside virNetClientIOEventLoop() between poll() and
virNetClientLock(). We should only close a connection directly if no-one
is using it and defer the closing to the last user otherwise. So far we
only did so if the close was initiated by keep-alive timeout.
