KIO: thread safety commit broke Get hot new stuff

[Marco Martin]

HI all,
I recently noticed that the two GHNS windows in Plasma 5 very recently freeze 
the whole process as soon the dialog opens

I tried to bisect things and the problem is definitely in the commit

8cb050ea61dfb195fee0293c7c0eb87cb0a90654

in the KIO framework 
"KIO thread-safety: protect concurrent access to KProtocolManager methods"

Right now frameworks are tagged, but either kio or knewstuff framework are 
broken.
And we need the dialog working in the Plasma 5 release.

Sooo, how do we proceed?
