qht: do not segfault when gathering stats from an uninitialized qht
So far, QHT functions assume that the passed qht has previously been
initialized--otherwise they segfault.
This patch makes an exception for qht_statistics_init, with the goal
of simplifying calling code. For instance, qht_statistics_init is
called from the 'info jit' dump, and given that under KVM the TB qht
is never initialized, we get a segfault. Thus, instead of complicating
the 'info jit' code with additional checks, let's allow passing an
uninitialized qht to qht_statistics_init.
While at it, add a test for this to test-qht.
Before the patch (for $ qemu -enable-kvm [...]):
(qemu) info jit
[...]
direct jump count 0 (0%) (2 jumps=0 0%)
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
After the patch the "TB hash buckets", "TB hash occupancy"
and "TB hash avg chain" lines are omitted.
(qemu) info jit
[...]
direct jump count 0 (0%) (2 jumps=0 0%)
TB hash buckets 0/0 (-nan% head buckets used)
TB hash occupancy nan% avg chain occ. Histogram: (null)
TB hash avg chain nan buckets. Histogram: (null)
