The last Viktor's effort to fix the race and memory corruption unfortunately

still happend and corrupt the memory or cause a crash of the client (including
the daemon in case of a p2p migration).
The new object - virConnectCloseCallbackData - is a lockable object that keeps
the pointers to the real user registered callback and ensures that the
connection callback is either not called if the connection was already freed or
that the connection isn't freed while this is being called.

I've (finally) completed my stress-testing, and agree that this patch is
sufficient to avoid the race (especially when patch 1/6 is also applied
to make the race more obvious).
ACK, and let's get this applied and backported to maintenance branches
as appropriate.
Thanks I've pushed this upstream and I will post a 0.10.2 backport later.
