[RFC PATCH v1 2/7] char-socket: return -1 in case of disconnect during tcp_chr_write

[Dima Stepanov]

During testing of the vhost-user-blk reconnect functionality the qemu
SIGSEGV was triggered:
 start qemu as:
 x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024M -M q35 \
   -object 
memory-backend-file,id=ram-node0,size=1024M,mem-path=/dev/shm/qemu,share=on \
   -numa node,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0 \
   -chardev socket,id=chardev0,path=./vhost.sock,noserver,reconnect=1 \
   -device vhost-user-blk-pci,chardev=chardev0,num-queues=4 --enable-kvm
 start vhost-user-blk daemon:
 ./vhost-user-blk -s ./vhost.sock -b test-img.raw

If vhost-user-blk will be killed during the vhost initialization
process, for instance after getting VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL command, then
QEMU will fail with the following backtrace:

Thread 1 "qemu-system-x86" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is that vhost_user_write doesn't get an error after
disconnect and try to call vhost_user_read(). The tcp_chr_write()
routine should return -1 in case of disconnect. Indicate the EIO error
if this routine is called in the disconnected state.
