Currently qemu_set_fd_handler2() is only setting ioh->deleted upon
deleting.  This may cause a crash when a read handler calls
qemu_set_fd_handler2() to delete handlers, but a write handler is
still invoked from main_loop_wait().  Because main_loop_wait() checks
handlers before calling, setting NULL upon deleting will protect
handlers being called if already deleted.

One example is the new threaded vnc server.  When an error occurs in
the context of a read handler, it'll releases resources and deletes
handlers.  However, because the write handler still exists, it'll be
called, and then crashes because of lack of resources.  This patch
fixes it.
