[libvirt] [PATCH] Really don't crash if a connection closes early

When writing commit 173c291, I missed the fact virNetServerClientClose
unlocks the client object before actually clearing client->sock and thus
it is possible to hit a window when client->keepalive is NULL while
client->sock is not NULL. I was thinking client->sock == NULL was a
better check for a closed connection but apparently we have to go with
client->keepalive == NULL to actually fix the crash.
