H A Dcurl.cdiff 456af346297ebef86aa097b3609534d34f3d2f75 Mon May 15 05:00:55 CDT 2017 Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> curl: avoid recursive locking of BDRVCURLState mutex

The curl driver has a ugly hack where, if it cannot find an empty CURLState,
it just uses aio_poll to wait for one to be empty. This is probably
buggy when used together with dataplane, and the simplest way to fix it
is to use coroutines instead.

A more immediate effect of the bug however is that it can cause a
recursive call to curl_readv_bh_cb and recursively taking the
BDRVCURLState mutex. This causes a deadlock.

The fix is to unlock the mutex around aio_poll, but for cleanliness we
should also take the mutex around all calls to curl_init_state, even if
reaching the unlock/lock pair is impossible. The same is true for
curl_clean_state.
