Title: glib: avoid a delegate to be GCed which could cause a NRE (bxc#13113)

What appeared to be a race condition (because of not happenning 100% of
the times) ended up being an early garbage collection of a delegate that
was still referenced by an unmanaged struct without having a managed
counterpart [1].

The consequence of this was a NullReferenceException happening in a line
which didn't have a dereference of a null object. The way to reproduce it
deterministically 100% of the times was setting the env var MONO_NO_SMP.
