Please use bool instead of int.

The function name confused me since "does the current thread hold the
lock?" != "does anyone currently hold the lock?".

I suggest:

bool rfifolock_held_by_current_thread(RFifoLock *r) {
     return r->nesting > 0 && qemu_thread_is_self(&r->owner_thread);
}

Then the r->nesting > 0 testing can also be dropped by callers, which is
good since rfifolock_is_locked() does not return a meaningful result
when r->nesting == 0.
what about

rfifolock_is_owner() ?
