[Qemu-devel] [PULL 10/23] qmp-input: Require struct push to visit members of top dict

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Don't embed the root of the visit into the stack of current
containers being visited.  That way, we no longer get confused
on whether the first visit of a dictionary is to the dictionary
itself or to one of the members of the dictionary, based on
whether the caller passed name=NULL; and makes the QMP Input
visitor like other visitors where the value of 'name' is now
ignored on the root visit.  (We may someday want to revisit
the rules on what 'name' should be on a top-level visit,
rather than just ignoring it; but that would be the topic of
another patch).

An audit of all qmp_input_visitor_new() call sites shows that
there were only two places where callers had previously been
visiting to a QDict with a non-NULL name to bypass a call to
visit_start_struct(), and those were fixed in prior patches.
