loadvm: improve tests before bdrv_snapshot_goto()
This patch improves the resilience of the load_vmstate() function, doing further and better ordered tests. In load_vmstate(), if there is any error on bdrv_snapshot_goto(), except if the error is on VM state device, load_vmstate() will return zero and the VM will be started with major corruption chances. The current process: - test if there is any writable device without snapshot support - if exists return -error - get the device that saves the VM state, possible return -error but unlikely because it was tested earlier - flush I/O - run bdrv_snapshot_goto() on devices - if fails, give an warning and goes to the next (not good!) - if fails on the VM state device, return zero (not good!) - check if the requested snapshot exists on the device that saves the VM state and the state is not zero - if fails return -error - open the file with the VM state - if fails return -error - load the VM state - if fails return -error - return zero New behavior: - get the device that saves the VM state - if fails return -error - check if the requested snapshot exists on the device that saves the VM state and the state is not zero - if fails return -error - test if there is any writable device without snapshot support - if exists return -error - test if the devices with snapshot support have the requested snapshot - if anyone fails, return -error - flush I/O - run snapshot_goto() on devices - if anyone fails, return -error - open the file with the VM state - if fails return -error - load the VM state - if fails return -error - return zero do_loadvm must not call vm_start if any error has occurred in load_vmstate.
