[libvirt] [PATCH] virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback: Unlock @conn prior to error dispatch

The function checks for @conn to be valid and locks its mutex. Then, it
checks if callee is unregistering the same callback that he registered
previously. If this fails an error is reported and  the control jumps to
'error' label. Here, if @conn has some errors (and it certainly does -
the one that's been just reported) the conn->mutex is locked again -
without any previous unlock:

  Thread 1 (Thread 0x7fb500ef1800 (LWP 18982)):

  #8  0x00007fb500f5861b in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at virsh.c:3393

And since the conn's mutex is not recursive, the virDispatchError will
never ever lock it successfully.
