This is a follow up of below patch from Avihai as a replacement:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20241020130108.27148-3-avihaih@nvidia.com/

This is v3 of the series, and it happened again: changelog doesn't make
sense to compare to v2 because it's rewritten.  Meanwhile, now this series
is based on the other TYPE_SINGLETON series I posted just now:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241024165627.1372621-1-peterx@redhat.com

It turns out I found more things to cleanup, as the versions spin up.

Patch 1:     I found that object_ref() in migration thread is actually also
             racy..  this should fix it.

Patch 2-7:   It turns out I decided to clean things up first, then it'll
             make my last patch easier on adding the mutex protection for
             the current_migration reference

Patch 8:     The fix for NULL-dereference / race for the exported
             functions.  VFIO can hit it only because VFIO's specialty
             in using migration helpers in vmstate handlers, I guess.  I
             found most functions always safe because even if they're used
             outside migration/ they're most likely still invoked with
             migration thread context.  So I found only two functions that
             really need protections, exactly what VFIO is using.

Comments welcomed, thanks.
