Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/stefanha/tags/block-pull-request' into staging

Pull request

 * Add 'drop-cache=on|off' option to file-posix.c.  The default is on.
   Disabling the option fixes a QEMU 3.0.0 performance regression when live
   migrating on the same host with cache.direct=off.
