thread_pool_submit_aio() is always called on a pool taken from
qemu_get_current_aio_context(), and that is the only intended
use: each pool runs only in the same thread that is submitting
work to it, it can't run anywhere else.
Therefore simplify the thread_pool_submit* API and remove the
ThreadPool function parameter.

The easiest spots to use QAPI_LIST_APPEND are where we already have an
obvious pointer to the tail of a list. While at it, consistently use
the variable name 'tail' for that purpose.

object_get_canonical_path_component() returns a malloced copy of a
property name on success, null on failure.
19 of its 25 callers immediately free the returned copy.
Change object_get_canonical_path_component() to return the property
name directly. Since modifying the name would be wrong, adjust the
return type to const char *.
Drop the free from the 19 callers become simpler, add the g_strdup()
to the other six.

pr_manager_worker() passes its @opaque argument to g_free(). Wrong;
it points to pr_manager_worker()'s automatic @data. Broken when
commit 2f3a7ab39b converted @data from heap- to stack-allocated. Fix
by deleting the g_free().

No real reason to keep using the callback based mechanism here when the
rest of the file-posix driver is coroutine based. Changing it brings
ioctls more in line with how other request types work.

It is a common requirement for virtual machine to send persistent
reservations, but this currently requires either running QEMU with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO, or using out-of-tree patches that let an unprivileged
QEMU bypass Linux's filter on SG_IO commands.
As an alternative mechanism, the next patches will introduce a
privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands without
expanding QEMU's attack surface unnecessarily.
The helper is invoked through a "pr-manager" QOM object, to which
file-posix.c passes SG_IO requests for PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT and
PERSISTENT RESERVE IN commands. For example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
or:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-blockdev node-name=hd,driver=raw,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
Multiple pr-manager implementations are conceivable and possible, though
only one is implemented right now. For example, a pr-manager could:
- talk directly to the multipath daemon from a privileged QEMU
(i.e. QEMU links to libmpathpersist); this makes reservation work
properly with multipath, but still requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO
- use the Linux IOC_PR_* ioctls (they require CAP_SYS_ADMIN though)
- more interestingly, implement reservations directly in QEMU
through file system locks or a shared database (e.g. sqlite)
