[PATCH v3 0/7] vhost-user-blk: fix the migration issue and enhance qtests

[Dima Stepanov]

v2 -> v3:
  - update commit message for the 
    "vhost: recheck dev state in the vhost_migration_log routine" commit
  - rename "started" field of the VhostUserBlk structure to
    "started_vu", so there will be no confustion with the VHOST started
    field
  - update vhost-user-test.c to always initialize nq local variable
    (spotted by patchew)

v1 -> v2:
  - add comments to connected/started fields in the header file
  - move the "s->started" logic from the vhost_user_blk_disconnect
    routine to the vhost_user_blk_stop routine

If vhost-user daemon is used as a backend for the vhost device, then we
should consider a possibility of disconnect at any moment. There was a general
question here: should we consider it as an error or okay state for the 
vhost-user
devices during migration process?
I think the disconnect event for the vhost-user devices should not break the
migration process, because:
  - the device will be in the stopped state, so it will not be changed
    during migration
  - if reconnect will be made the migration log will be reinitialized as
    part of reconnect/init process:

The first patch in the patchset fixes this issue by setting vhost device to the
stopped state in the disconnect handler and check it the vhost_migration_log()
routine before returning from the function.
qtest framework was updated to test vhost-user-blk functionality. The
vhost-user-blk/vhost-user-blk-tests/migrate_reconnect test was added to 
reproduce
the original issue found.
