[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] migration: Cleanup during exit

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Currently we cleanup the migration object as we exit main after the
main_loop finishes; however if there's a migration running things
get messy and we can end up with the migration thread still trying
to access freed structures.

We now take a ref to the object around the migration thread itself,
so the act of dropping the ref during exit doesn't cause us to lose
the state until the thread quits.

Cancelling the migration during migration also tries to get the thread
to quit.

We do this a bit earlier; so hopefully migration gets out of the way
before all the devices etc are freed.
