[PATCH v3 0/6] Make the qemu_logfile handle thread safe.

[Robert Foley]

This patch adds thread safety to the qemu_logfile handle.  This now
allows changing the logfile while logging is active, and also solves 
the issue of a seg fault while changing the logfile.

This patch adds use of RCU for handling the swap out of the 
old qemu_logfile file descriptor.

Also added a few tests for logfile including changing the logfile
and closing the logfile.

One change also added for a pre-existing double free issue in 
qemu_set_log_filename() uncovered with the new test.

We also cleaned up the flow of code in qemu_set_log().

v3
    - This version of the patch incorporates a few minor changes.
    - Change patch which adds qemu_logfile_mutex to remove the
      asserts that mutex is initialized, instead we will rely
      on the constructor.
    - Also added details to commit for patch adding mutex to explain some
      unavoidable temporary ugliness that we cleanup in a later patch. 
    - Change qemu_log_lock() to unconditionally hold the rcu_read_lock()
      until qemu_log_unlock().  
    - Also changed one use case in target/tilegx/translate.c
      to eliminate use of qemu_log_lock()/unlock().
---
v2
    - This version of the patch adds some cleanup of code in
      qemu_set_log().
    - Also changed the order of patches to move our fix for the
      double free issue in qemu_set_log_filename() up to the beginning
      of the patch.
---
v1
    - This version of the patch incorporates changes 
      from the first round of review.  
    - It also includes a fix for an issue in
      qemu_set_log_filename().  This issue was uncovered 
      by the test added for this patch.
