[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] block: Ignore duplicate or NULL format_name in bdrv_iterate_format

[Jeff Cody]

Some block drivers have multiple BlockDriver instances with identical
format_name fields (e.g. gluster, nbd).

Both qemu-img and qemu will use bdrv_iterate_format() to list the
supported formats when a help option is invoked.  As protocols and
formats may register multiple drivers, redundant listings of formats
occur (e.g., "Supported formats: ... gluster gluster gluster gluster ...
").

Since the list of driver formats will be small, this performs a simple
linear search on format_name, and ignores any duplicates.

The end result change is that the iterator will no longer receive
duplicate string names, nor will it receive NULL pointers.
