[PATCH v2 4/7] util: Add write-only "node-affinity" property for ThreadContext

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's make it easier to pin threads created via a ThreadContext to
all CPUs currently belonging to a given set of NUMA nodes -- which is the
common case.

"node-affinity" is simply a shortcut for setting "cpu-affinity" manually
to the list of CPUs belonging to the set of nodes. This property can only
be written.

A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to Node 1 on a system with
two NUMA nodes, 24 CPUs each:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -S \
      -object thread-context,id=tc1,node-affinity=1

And we can query the cpu-affinity via HMP/QMP:
    (qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity
    [
        1,
        3,
        5,
        7,
        9,
        11,
        13,
        15,
        17,
        19,
        21,
        23,
        25,
        27,
        29,
        31,
        33,
        35,
        37,
        39,
        41,
        43,
        45,
        47
    ]

We cannot query the node-affinity:
    (qemu) qom-get tc1 node-affinity
    Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation

But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work
before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU
code, because the type will otherwise not get registered.

Note that if the CPUs for a node change due do physical CPU hotplug or
hotunplug (e.g., lscpu output changes) after the ThreadContext was started,
the CPU affinity will not get updated.
