target-alpha: Implement call_pal without an exception

The destination of the call_pal, and the cpu state, is very predictable;
there's no need for exiting the cpu loop.

target-alpha: Use goto_tb in call_pal

With appropriate flushing when the PALBR changes, the target of
a CALL_PAL is so predictable we can chain to it.

block: ensure bdrv_drain_all() works during bdrv_delete()

In bdrv_delete() make sure to call bdrv_make_anon() *after* bdrv_close()
so that the device is still seen by bdrv_drain_all() when iterating
bdrv_states.

block: stop relying on io_flush() in bdrv_drain_all()

If a block driver has no file descriptors to monitor but there are still
active requests, it can return 1 from .io_flush().  This is used to spin
during synchronous I/O.

Stop relying on .io_flush() and instead check
QLIST_EMPTY(&bs->tracked_requests) to decide whether there are active
requests.

This is the first step in removing .io_flush() so that event loops no
longer need to have the concept of synchronous I/O.  Eventually we may
be able to kill synchronous I/O completely by running everything in a
coroutine, but that is future work.

Note this patch moves bs->throttled_reqs initialization to bdrv_new() so
that bdrv_requests_pending(bs) can safely access it.  In practice bs is
g_malloc0() so the memory is already zeroed but it's safer to initialize
the queue properly.

We also need to fix up block/stream.c:close_unused_images() to prevent
traversing a dangling pointer while it rearranges the backing file
chain.  This is necessary since the new bdrv_drain_all() traverses the
backing file chain.

dataplane/virtio-blk: check exit conditions before aio_poll()

Check exit conditions before entering blocking aio_poll().  This is
mainly for consistency since it's unlikely that we are stopping in the
first event loop iteration.

tests: adjust test-aio to new aio_poll() semantics

aio_poll(ctx, true) will soon block if any fd handlers have been set.
Previously it would only block when .io_flush() returned true.

This means that callers must check their wait condition *before*
aio_poll() to avoid deadlock.

tests: adjust test-thread-pool to new aio_poll() semantics

aio_poll(ctx, true) will soon block when fd handlers have been set.
Previously aio_poll() would return early if all .io_flush() returned
false.  This means we need to check the equivalent of the .io_flush()
condition *before* calling aio_poll(ctx, true) to avoid deadlock.

aio: stop using .io_flush()

Now that aio_poll() users check their termination condition themselves,
it is no longer necessary to call .io_flush() handlers.

The behavior of aio_poll() changes as follows:

1. .io_flush() is no longer invoked and file descriptors are *always*
monitored.  Previously returning 0 from .io_flush() would skip this file
descriptor.

Due to this change it is essential to check that requests are pending
before calling qemu_aio_wait().  Failure to do so means we block, for
example, waiting for an idle iSCSI socket to become readable when there
are no requests.  Currently all qemu_aio_wait()/aio_poll() callers check
before calling.

2. aio_poll() now returns true if progress was made (BH or fd handlers
executed) and false otherwise.  Previously it would return true whenever
'busy', which means that .io_flush() returned true.  The 'busy' concept
no longer exists so just progress is returned.

Due to this change we need to update tests/test-aio.c which asserts
aio_poll() return values.  Note that QEMU doesn't actually rely on these
return values so only tests/test-aio.c cares.

Note that ctx->notifier, the EventNotifier fd used for aio_notify(), is
now handled as a special case.  This is a little ugly but maintains
aio_poll() semantics, i.e. aio_notify() does not count as 'progress' and
aio_poll() avoids blocking when the user has not set any fd handlers yet.

Patches after this remove .io_flush() handler code until we can finally
drop the io_flush arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and friends.
