The bottom halves API is not thread safe, but calling
qemu_bh_schedule_idle()

Not _idle please.

in another thread *seems* to be safe (here, it
would be protected from qemu_bh_delete() by vnc_lock_output()).

If it weren't protected against qemu_bh_delete, you would have already the same race between writing to the socket and closing it in another thread.
