If a second thread arrives with an RPC request, it will queue it
for the first thread to process. To inform the first thread that
there's a new request it calls g_main_loop_quit() to break it out
of the main loop.
This works if the first thread is in g_main_loop_run() at that
time. There is a small window of opportunity, however, where
the first thread has released the client lock, but not yet got
into g_main_loop_run(). If that happens, the wakeup from the
second thread is lost.
This patch deals with that by changing the way the wakeup is
performed. Instead of directly calling g_main_loop_quit(), the
second thread creates an idle source to run the quit function
from within the first thread. This guarantees that the first
thread will see the wakeup.
