block: Clean up remaining users of "removable"
BlockDriverState member removable is a confused mess. It is true when
an ide-cd, scsi-cd or floppy qdev is attached, or when the
BlockDriverState was created with -drive if={floppy,sd} or -drive
if={ide,scsi,xen,none},media=cdrom ("created removable"), except when
an ide-hd, scsi-hd, scsi-generic or virtio-blk qdev is attached.
Three users remain:
1. eject_device(), via bdrv_is_removable() uses it to determine
whether a block device can eject media.
2. bdrv_info() is monitor command "info block". QMP documentation
says "true if the device is removable, false otherwise". From the
monitor user's point of view, the only sensible interpretation of
"is removable" is "can eject media with monitor commands eject and
change".
A block device can eject media unless a device is attached that
doesn't support it. Switch the two users over to new
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() that returns exactly that.
3. bdrv_getlength() uses to suppress its length cache when media can
change (see commit 46a4e4e6). Media change is either monitor
command change (updates the length cache), monitor command eject
(doesn't update the length cache, easily fixable), or physical
media change (invalidates length cache, not so easily fixable).
I'm refraining from improving anything here, because this series is
long enough already. Instead, I simply switch it over to
bdrv_dev_has_removable_media() as well.
This changes the behavior of the length cache and of monitor commands
eject and change in two cases:
a. drive not created removable, no device attached
The commit makes the drive removable, and defeats the length cache.
Example: -drive if=none
b. drive created removable, but the attached drive is non-removable,
and doesn't call bdrv_set_removable(..., 0) (most devices don't)
The commit makes the drive non-removable, and enables the length
cache.
Example: -drive if=xen,media=cdrom -M xenpv
The other non-removable devices that don't call
bdrv_set_removable() can't currently use a drive created removable,
either because they aren't qdevified, or because they lack a drive
property. Won't stay that way.
