This is interesting. When I try this out, the python script just gets
disconnected and never connects back. So I don't see any number (FD)
getting increased.

Recursive mutexes are usually sign of bad design. Anyway in this case,
one lock should be held by thread doing virNetSocketRemoveIOCallback().
The other (event loop) should be trying to lock the socket lock from
virNetSocketEventFree(). Since these are two different threads, each one
of them is modifying the state of the socket we have to have them use
the lock.

I don't see this code anywhere and thus cannot perform the changes
you've suggested. Sorry. Is this current git HEAD?

Can you provide the output of 't a a bt'? I wonder if this is the only
thread (and thus something left socket locked) or we have some deadlock
here.
