[v5,07/36] migration: postcopy_ram_listen_thread() should take BQL for some calls

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <[e-mail]>

All callers to migration_incoming_state_destroy() other than
postcopy_ram_listen_thread() do this call with BQL held.

Since migration_incoming_state_destroy() ultimately calls "load_cleanup"
SaveVMHandlers and it will soon call BQL-sensitive code it makes sense
to always call that function under BQL rather than to have it deal with
both cases (with BQL and without BQL).
Add the necessary bql_lock() and bql_unlock() to
postcopy_ram_listen_thread().

qemu_loadvm_state_main() in postcopy_ram_listen_thread() could call
"load_state" SaveVMHandlers that are expecting BQL to be held.

In principle, the only devices that should be arriving on migration
channel serviced by postcopy_ram_listen_thread() are those that are
postcopiable and whose load handlers are safe to be called without BQL
being held.

But nothing currently prevents the source from sending data for "unsafe"
devices which would cause trouble there.
Add a TODO comment there so it's clear that it would be good to improve
handling of such (erroneous) case in the future.
