[PATCH RFC 1/4] memory: Make memory_listeners RCU-safe for real

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

I think the plan was making memory_listeners rcu-safe, but maybe not
really.  This patch does it for real, by using RCU variances of qtailq
helpers when modifying memory_listeners.  The modification should be
serialized by BQL, add assertions to register/unregister functions.

Wait for a quiecent period before returning from unregister of memory
listener to make sure any rcu reader is accessing valid listeners.

AddressSpace.listeners are protected in the same way, so do the same.
