[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.0 v4 2/7] monitor: accept chardev input from iothread

["Marc-André Lureau" <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>]

Chardev backends may not handle safely IO events from concurrent
threads (may not handle I/O events from concurrent threads safely,
only the write path is since commit >
9005b2a7589540a3733b3abdcfbccfe7746cd1a1). Better to wake up the
chardev from the monitor IO thread if it's being used as the chardev
context.

Unify code paths by using a BH in all cases.

Drop the now redundant aio_notify() call.

Clean up control flow not to rely on mon->use_io_thread implying
monitor_is_qmp(mon).
