[PULL 16/16] virtio-blk: avoid using ioeventfd state in irqfd conditional

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

Requests that complete in an IOThread use irqfd to notify the guest
while requests that complete in the main loop thread use the traditional
qdev irq code path. The reason for this conditional is that the irq code
path requires the BQL:

  if (s->ioeventfd_started && !s->ioeventfd_disabled) {
      virtio_notify_irqfd(vdev, req->vq);
  } else {
      virtio_notify(vdev, req->vq);
  }

There is a corner case where the conditional invokes the irq code path
instead of the irqfd code path:

  static void virtio_blk_stop_ioeventfd(VirtIODevice *vdev)
  {
      ...
      /*
       * Set ->ioeventfd_started to false before draining so that host notifiers
       * are not detached/attached anymore.
       */
      s->ioeventfd_started = false;

      /* Wait for virtio_blk_dma_restart_bh() and in flight I/O to complete */
      blk_drain(s->conf.conf.blk);

During blk_drain() the conditional produces the wrong result because
ioeventfd_started is false.

Use qemu_in_iothread() instead of checking the ioeventfd state.
