[Qemu-devel] [PULL 20/35] qemu-thread: fix qemu_thread_set_name() race in qemu_thread_create()

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Caoxinhua <caoxinhua@huawei.com>

QEMU will crash with the follow backtrace if the new created thread exited before
we call qemu_thread_set_name() for it.

Let's detach the new thread after calling qemu_thread_set_name().
