Race condition: we must only store rwr->rc while holding
->completion_mutex.  Otherwise the other thread may see ->rc and
g_free(rwr) before we leave this function, causing us to operate on
freed memory.

I suggest storing rc into a local variable first and then assigning to
rwr->rc here.

+/*

+static void tpm_nvram_do_co_write(TPMNvramRWRequest *rwr)
+{
+    int rc;
+    Coroutine *co;
+
+    rc = tpm_nvram_adjust_size(rwr->bdrv, rwr->offset, rwr->size);
+    if (rc < 0) {
+        rwr->rc = rc;
+        return;
+    }

Do this inside the tpm_nvram_co_write() coroutine so error return still
signals the condvar.  Right now the other thread may miss completion and
deadlock.



Thanks for the review.  Sending a v3 out to the list now.
