[v2, linux] Improve switching to main thread for callbacks (#1392)

Make sure no pointers to the stack are passed to g_idle_add,
because at the time the callback gets executed on the
main thread, the pointer might be invalid.
Go might have reused the stack or grown the stack and the
pointer is invalid.

The concept used on Windows has been ported to Linux.
