The documentation of gobject signals reads:

"If you are connecting handlers to signals and using a GObject instance as your
signal handler user data, you should remember to pair calls to
g_signal_connect() with calls to g_signal_handler_disconnect() or
g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func(). While signal handlers are automatically
disconnected when the object emitting the signal is finalised..." [1]

This means that the signal handlers are automatically disconnected as soon as
the `priv->mdevCtlMonitors` are finalised/released by `udevEventDataDispose`.
But this also means that it's possible that new work is tried to be scheduled
for the workerpool by the `mdevctlEventHandleCallback` (main thread context)
even if the workerpool has already been stopped by `nodeStateShutdownWait`. To
fully understand this, it's important to know that the main loop of the main
thread is still running for some time even after `nodeStateShutdownPrepare` has
been called. Let's avoid this situation by explicitly disconnect the signals
during `nodeStateShutdownPrepare`, which is called in the main thread, so that
no new work is attempted to be scheduled for the worker pool.
