[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/6] exec: don't use cpu_index to detect if cpu_exec_init()'s been called for cpu

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

Instead use QTAIL's tqe_prev field to detect if cpu's been
placed in list by cpu_exec_init() which is always set if
QTAIL element is in list.

Fixes SIGSEGV on failure path in case cpu_index is assigned
by board and cpu.relalize() fails before cpu_exec_init() is called.

In follow up patches, cpu_index will be assigned by boards that
support cpu hot(un)plug and need stable cpu_index that doesn't
depend on order cpus are created/removed.

v2:
  replace setting tqe_prev to NULL in generic QTAIL_REMOVE
  with a check and cleanup in cpu_exec_exit() to be on safe side.
  And delay QTAIL_REMOVE() change to 2.8.
