[libvirt] [PATCH] Revert "rpc: Discard non-blocking calls only when necessary"

This reverts commit b1e374a7ac56927cfe62435179bf0bba1e08b372, which was
rather bad since I failed to consider all sides of the issue. Thus, the
reverted patch actually breaks more than what it fixes and clients
(which may even be libvirtd during p2p migrations) will likely end up
with a corrupted dispatch queue.
---

I will send proper replacement for the reverted patch later once I'm convinced
it's correct (more than I was convinced the original one was correct) :-P
