If svc->dispatchFunc is NULL, we will goto here to do cleanup. Unfortunately,
client->sock is clientsock and it will be freed again in virNetServerClientFree().
It may cause libvirtd crashed.

If svc->dispatchFunc() failed, we close and free client. But we only free client here,
not close it here. Do we need to close it here?

I think the cleanup code should like this:

if (client) {
    virNetServerClientClose(client);
    virNetServerClientFree(client);
} else {
    virNetSocketFree(clientsock);
}
