This reverts commit b3710e9a2a.
That check is very valuable for our code, but it causes issue with glib >=
2.67.0 when building with clang.
The reason is a combination of two commits in glib, firstly fdda405b6b1b which
adds a g_atomic_pointer_{set,get} variants that enforce stricter type
checking (by removing an extra cast) for compilers that support __typeof__, and
commit dce24dc4492d which effectively enabled the new variant of glib's atomic
code for clang. This will not be necessary when glib's issue #600 [0] (8 years
old) is fixed. Thankfully, MR #1719 [1], which is supposed to deal with this
issue was opened 3 weeks ago, so there is a slight sliver of hope.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
