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.
