[PATCH 0/5] migrations: Fix potential rare race of migration-test after yank

[Peter Xu]

Patch 1 fixes a possible race that migration thread can accidentally skip
join() of rp_thread even if the return thread is enabled.  Patch 1 is suspected
to also be the root cause of the recent hard-to-reproduce migration-test
failure here reported by PMM:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/YPamXAHwan%2FPPXLf@work-vm/

I didn't reproduce it myself; but after co-debugged with Dave it's suspected
that the race of rp_thread could be the cause.  It's not exposed before because
yank is soo strict on releasing instances, while we're not that strict before,
and didn't join() on rp_thread wasn't so dangerous after all when migration
succeeded before.

Patch 2 fixes another theoretical race on accessing from_dst_file spotted by
Dave.  I don't think there's known issues with it, but may still worth fixing.

Patch 3 should be a cleanup on yank that I think would be nice to have.

Patch 4-5 are further cleanups to remove the ref==1 check in channel_close(),
finally, as I always thought that's a bit hackish.  So I used explicit
unregister of the yank function at necessary places to replace that ref==1 one.

I still think having patch 3-5 altogether would be great, however I think patch
1 should still be the most important to be reviewed.  Also it would be great to
know whether patch 1 could fix the known yank crash.

Please review, thanks.
