The lifetime of the virDomainEventState object is tied to
the lifetime of the driver, which in stateless drivers is
tied to the lifetime of the virConnectPtr.
If we add & remove a timer when allocating/freeing the
virDomainEventState object, we can get a situation where
the timer still triggers once after virDomainEventState
has been freed. The timeout callback can't keep a ref
on the event state though, since that would be a circular
reference.
The trick is to only register the timer when a callback
is registered with the event state & remove the timer
when the callback is unregistered.
The demo for the bug is to run
while true ; do date ; ../tools/virsh -q -c test:///default 'shutdown test; undefine test; dominfo test' ; done
prior to this fix, it will frequently hang and / or
crash, or corrupt memory
