vl: introduce vm_shutdown()
Commit 00d09fdbbae5f7864ce754913efc84c12fdf9f1a ("vl: pause vcpus before
stopping iothreads") and commit dce8921b2baaf95974af8176406881872067adfa
("iothread: Stop threads before main() quits") tried to work around the
fact that emulation was still active during termination by stopping
iothreads. They suffer from race conditions:
1. virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_vq() racing with iothread_stop_all() hits the
virtio_scsi_ctx_check() assertion failure because the BDS AioContext
has been modified by iothread_stop_all().
2. Guest vq kick racing with main loop termination leaves a readable
ioeventfd that is handled by the next aio_poll() when external
clients are enabled again, resulting in unwanted emulation activity.
This patch obsoletes those commits by fully disabling emulation activity
when vcpus are stopped.
Use the new vm_shutdown() function instead of pause_all_vcpus() so that
vm change state handlers are invoked too. Virtio devices will now stop
their ioeventfds, preventing further emulation activity after vm_stop().
Note that vm_stop(RUN_STATE_SHUTDOWN) cannot be used because it emits a
QMP STOP event that may affect existing clients.
It is no longer necessary to call replay_disable_events() directly since
vm_shutdown() does so already.
Drop iothread_stop_all() since it is no longer used.
