FYI, this change seems to have broken the 'getfd' command in the monitor. 
Any attempt to use this command (in both text + json modes) is currently 
returning

  "No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS"

Reverting this change makes getfd work again for me.

Strace of libvirtd shows it sending the command + FD in one message:

 sendmsg(18, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"getfd fd-net2\r", 14}],
  msg_controllen=24, {cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS,
 {16}}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 14

Strace of qemu shows that it receives the FD ok, but immediately closes it
before finishing reading the actual monitor command with which it is associated:

[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"g", 1}], msg_controllen=24, {cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, {17}}, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] close(17)                   = 0
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"e", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"t", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"f", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"d", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{" ", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"f", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"d", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"-", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"n", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"e", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"t", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"2", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1
[pid 31941] recvmsg(16, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"\r", 1}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1

The QEMU code appears to be written to assume that it will recvmsg() a
complete monitor command in one go + process that, because it closes the
FD the moment the data from any recvmsg() is dealt with.

Daniel
