This reverts commit 2b316774f60291f57ca9ecb6a9f0712c532cae34.

After 038b4217884c ("Revert "chardev: use a child source for qio input
source"") we've been observing the "iwp->src == NULL" assertion
triggering periodically during the initial capabilities querying by
libvirtd. One of possible backtraces:

io_remove_watch_poll(), which makes sure that iwp->src is NULL, calls
g_source_destroy() which finds that iwp->src is not NULL in the finalize
callback. This can only happen if another thread has managed to trigger
io_watch_poll_prepare() callback in the meantime.

Move iwp->src destruction back to the finalize callback to prevent the
described race, and also remove the stale comment. The deadlock glib bug
was fixed back in 2010 by b35820285668 ("gmain: move finalization of
GSource outside of context lock").
