H A Dspapr_drc.c82512483 Fri Nov 17 06:56:48 CST 2017 Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> spapr: reset DRCs after devices

A DRC with a pending unplug request releases its associated device at
machine reset time.

In the case of LMB, when all DRCs for a DIMM device have been reset,
the DIMM gets unplugged, causing guest memory to disappear. This may
be very confusing for anything still using this memory.

This is exactly what happens with vhost backends, and QEMU aborts
with:

qemu-system-ppc64: used ring relocated for ring 2
qemu-system-ppc64: qemu/hw/virtio/vhost.c:649: vhost_commit: Assertion
`r >= 0' failed.

The issue is that each DRC registers a QEMU reset handler, and we
don't control the order in which these handlers are called (ie,
a LMB DRC will unplug a DIMM before the virtio device using the
memory on this DIMM could stop its vhost backend).

To avoid such situations, let's reset DRCs after all devices
have been reset.
