The new safe console handling introduced a possibility to deadlock the
qemu driver when a new console connection forcibly disconnects a
previous console stream that belongs to an already closed connection.
The virStreamFree function calls subsequently a the virReleaseConnect
function that tries to lock the driver while discarding the connection,
but the driver was already locked in qemuDomainOpenConsole.
