The author and Signed-off-by name/email are different. Do you want to
use a single name/email?

There is a bug here: the lock won't be held after this line because
WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD() is block scoped. It requires curly braces:

  WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(&lock) {
      ...protected code...
  }
  ...unprotected code...

Use QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(&lock); when don't want block scope. It holds the
lock for the remainder of the function.
