memory: add reference counting to FlatView
With this change, a FlatView can be used even after a concurrent
update has replaced it. Because we do not yet have RCU, we use a
mutex to protect the small critical sections that read/write the
as->current_map pointer. Accesses to the FlatView can be done
outside the mutex.
If a MemoryRegion will be used after the FlatView is unref-ed (or after
a MemoryListener callback is returned), a reference has to be added to
that MemoryRegion. memory_region_find already does it for the region
that it returns. The same will be done for address_space_translate
as soon as the dispatch tree is also converted to RCU-style.
