[PATCH] string-output-visitor: Fix (pseudo) struct handling

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Commit ff32bb53 tried to get minimal struct support into the string
output visitor by just making it return "<omitted>". Unfortunately, it
forgot that the caller will still make more visitor calls for the
content of the struct.

If the struct is contained in a list, such as IOThreadVirtQueueMapping,
in the better case its fields show up as separate list entries. In the
worse case, it contains another list, and the string output visitor
doesn't support nested lists and asserts that this doesn't happen. So as
soon as the optional "vqs" field in IOThreadVirtQueueMapping is
specified, we get a crash.

This can be reproduced with the following command line:

  echo "info qtree" | ./qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -object iothread,id=t0 \
    -blockdev null-co,node-name=disk \
    -device '{"driver": "virtio-blk-pci", "drive": "disk",
              "iothread-vq-mapping": [{"iothread": "t0", "vqs": [0]}]}' \
    -monitor stdio

Fix the problem by counting the nesting level of structs and ignoring
any visitor calls for values (apart from start/end_struct) while we're
not on the top level.
