[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] blockjob: update nodes head while removing all bdrv

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

From: Sergio Lopez <slp@redhat.com>

block_job_remove_all_bdrv() iterates through job->nodes, calling
bdrv_root_unref_child() for each entry. The call to the latter may
reach child_job_[can_]set_aio_ctx(), which will also attempt to
traverse job->nodes, potentially finding entries that where freed
on previous iterations.

To avoid this situation, update job->nodes head on each iteration to
ensure that already freed entries are no longer linked to the list.

v3:
- Rewrote the loop to make the whole function a bit simpler
  (Also, remove the node from the job->nodes list before unref'ing it,
  just to be extra-safe)
