The bmds_list is not protected by blk_mig_lock:

    /* Written during setup phase.  Can be read without a lock.  */
    int blk_enable;
    int shared_base;
    QSIMPLEQ_HEAD(bmds_list, BlkMigDevState) bmds_list;
    int64_t total_sector_sum;
    bool zero_blocks;

block_migration_cleanup is called from qemu_savevm_state_cleanup, when
there can be no concurrency between the migration thread and the I/O
thread.  In fact the call of qemu_savevm_state_cleanup might as well be
moved out of the migration thread.
