[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] tests/libqtest: Fix possible deadlock in qtest initialization

[Marcel Apfelbaum]

'socket_accept' waits for Qemu to init its unix socket.
If Qemu encounters an error during command line parsing,
it can exit before initializing the communication channel.
It gets worse as the make check-qtest-* gets stuck without
notifying which test exactly has problems, so debugging can
be a challenge.

The solution has two parts:
 - Use a timeout for the socket.
 - Expose a qtest_state_valid that checks that the connections
   with Qemu are OK.
Asserting qtest_state_valid in each test after qtest_init
is a must, as we need to trace which test failed.
