I'm missing something:

The quorum driver has a valid bs->children list even though it does not
have a primary child. Why does QLIST_FOREACH() loop fail for you?

Does this patch effectively skip bdrv_co_flush() calls on all quorum
children? That seems wrong since children need to be flushed so that
data is persisted.
