2015-06-12throttle: acquire the ThrottleGroup lock in bdrv_swap()Alberto Garcia
bdrv_swap() touches the fields of a BlockDriverState that are protected by the ThrottleGroup lock. Although those fields end up in their original place, they are temporarily swapped in the process, so there's a chance that an operation on a member of the same group happening on a different thread can try to use them.

2015-06-12throttle: Add throttle group supportAlberto Garcia
The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling algorithm. The principles of the algorithm are simple: - Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way. - The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right timer. - If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token will become the next active BDS.
