Stefan Hajnoczi be2c42b97c virtio-scsi: reset SCSI devices from main loop thread
When an IOThread is configured, the ctrl virtqueue is processed in the
IOThread. TMFs that reset SCSI devices are currently called directly
from the IOThread and trigger an assertion failure in blk_drain() from
the following call stack:

virtio_scsi_handle_ctrl_req -> virtio_scsi_do_tmf -> device_code_reset
-> scsi_disk_reset -> scsi_device_purge_requests -> blk_drain

  ../block/block-backend.c:1780: void blk_drain(BlockBackend *): Assertion `qemu_in_main_thread()' failed.

The blk_drain() function is not designed to be called from an IOThread
because it needs the Big QEMU Lock (BQL).

This patch defers TMFs that reset SCSI devices to a Bottom Half (BH)
that runs in the main loop thread under the BQL. This way it's safe to
call blk_drain() and the assertion failure is avoided.

Introduce s->tmf_bh_list for tracking TMF requests that have been
deferred to the BH. When the BH runs it will grab the entire list and
process all requests. Care must be taken to clear the list when the
virtio-scsi device is reset or unrealized. Otherwise deferred TMF
requests could execute later and lead to use-after-free or other
undefined behavior.

The s->resetting counter that's used by TMFs that reset SCSI devices is
accessed from multiple threads. This patch makes that explicit by using
atomic accessor functions. With this patch applied the counter is only
modified by the main loop thread under the BQL but can be read by any
thread.
