[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 04/28] migration: ensure qemu_fflush() always writes full data amount

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

The QEMUFile writev_buffer / put_buffer functions are expected
to write out the full set of requested data, blocking until
complete. The qemu_fflush() caller does not expect to deal with
partial writes. Clarify the function comments and add a sanity
check to the code to catch mistaken implementations.
