[PATCH 05/17] migration/multifd: Wait for multifd channels creation before proceeding

[Avihai Horon]

Currently, multifd channels are created asynchronously without waiting
for their creation -- migration simply proceeds and may wait in
multifd_send_sync_main(), which is called by ram_save_setup(). This
hides in it some race conditions which can cause an unexpected behavior
if some channels creation fail.

For example, the following scenario of multifd migration with two
channels, where the first channel creation fails, will end in a
segmentation fault (time advances from top to bottom):

Thread           | Code execution
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multifd 1        |
                 | multifd_new_send_channel_async (errors and quits)
                 |   multifd_new_send_channel_cleanup
                 |
Migration thread |
                 | qemu_savevm_state_setup
                 |   ram_save_setup
                 |     multifd_send_sync_main
                 |     (detects Multifd 1 error and quits)
                 | [...]
                 | migration_iteration_finish
                 |   migrate_fd_cleanup_schedule
                 |
Main thread      |
                 | migrate_fd_cleanup
                 |   multifd_save_cleanup (destroys Multifd 2 resources)
                 |
Multifd 2        |
                 | multifd_new_send_channel_async
                 | (accesses destroyed resources, segfault)

In another scenario, migration can hang indefinitely:
1. Main migration thread reaches multifd_send_sync_main() and waits on
   the semaphores.
2. Then, all multifd channels creation fails, so they post the
   semaphores and quit.
3. Main migration channel will not identify the error, proceed to send
   pages and will hang.

Fix it by waiting for all multifd channels to be created before
proceeding with migration.
