Debian: Fix mtcAgent segfault on SM host state change requests

Browse Source 
The mtcAgent communicates to Service Managenment using libEvent.

The host state change notification requests are all blocking
requests. Both the common and service manager handlers are
freeing the object. This double free results in a segmentation
fault with the newer version of libEvent in Debian.

The bug is fixed by removing the free in the service handler
to allow the dispatch handler to manage the object free as it
does for other blocking requests for other services.

Test Plan:

PASS: Verify mtcAgent does not crash on SM state change request
PASS: Verify all blocking state change requests
PASS: Verify no memory leak (before ; request stress ; after)

Regression:

PASS: Verify Debian Build and Install (duplex/duplex)
PASS: Verify CentOS Build and Patch (duplex)
PASS: Verify CentOS Swact
PASS: Verify Logging
