[Qemu-devel] [RFC 01/13] block: stop relying on io_flush() in bdrv_drain_all()

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

If a block driver has no file descriptors to monitor but there are still
active requests, it can return 1 from .io_flush().  This is used to spin
during synchronous I/O.

Stop relying on .io_flush() and instead check
QLIST_EMPTY(&bs->tracked_requests) to decide whether there are active
requests.

This is the first step in removing .io_flush() so that event loops no
longer need to have the concept of synchronous I/O.  Eventually we may
be able to kill synchronous I/O completely by running everything in a
coroutine, but that is future work.
