xen-block: Fix double qlist remove and request leak
Commit a31ca6801c02 ("qemu/queue.h: clear linked list pointers on remove") revealed that a request was removed twice from a list, once in xen_block_finish_request() and a second time in xen_block_release_request() when both function are called from xen_block_complete_aio(). But also, the `requests_inflight' counter is decreased twice, and thus became negative. This is a bug that was introduced in bfd0d6366043 ("xen-block: improve response latency"), where a `finished' list was removed. That commit also introduced a leak of request in xen_block_do_aio(). That function calls xen_block_finish_request() but the request is never released after that. To fix both issue, we do two changes: - we squash finish_request() and release_request() together as we want to remove a request from 'inflight' list to add it to 'freelist'. - before releasing a request, we need to let the other end know the result, thus we should call xen_block_send_response() before releasing a request. The first change fixes the double QLIST_REMOVE() as we remove the extra call. The second change makes the leak go away because if we want to call finish_request(), we need to call a function that does all of finish, send response, and release.
