From: Wang Yong <wang.yong155@zte.com.cn>

IOThread uses AioContext event loop and does not run a GMainContext.
Therefore,chardev cannot work in IOThread,such as the chardev is
used for colo-compare packets reception.

This patch makes the IOThread run the GMainContext event loop,
chardev and IOThread can work together.

You should clear iothread->main_loop first before calling g_main_loop_unref(),
to avoid TOCTOU race with iothread_stop():

  iothread_run (in IOThread)          iothread_stop (in main thread)

                                      if (atomic_read(&iothread->main_loop)) {
  /* frees iothread->main_loop */
  g_main_loop_unref(...)
                                          /* Accesses freed memory */
                                          g_main_loop_quit(iothread->main_loop)
                                      }
  iothread->main_loop = NULL

Please remove the unnecessary type cast.
