qemu-queue: Introduce QLIST_INSERT_HEAD_RCU and dummy RCU wrappers.
SynthFS needs a QLIST_INSERT_HEAD_RCU to make sure list instructions are not
re-ordered and therefore avoiding a crash. There may be parallel readers which
should be allowed for lock-free access and this variant allows us to get rid
of rwlocks used by readers.
SynthFS is a special case where we dont really need full RCU capabilities as
it doesnt allow list entry deletion but concurrent readers/writers and
instruction re-ordering should not result in a crash.
Also, once the real rcu is available, dummy rcu macro definitions will go away
and the code will still work as expected.
This patchwork is based on inputs from Paolo Bonzini.
