This uses the lock-free mutex described in the paper '"Blocking without
Locking", or LFTHREADS: A lock-free thread library' by Gidenstam and
Papatriantafilou. The same technique is used in OSv, and in fact
the code is essentially a conversion to C of OSv's code.

As a small step towards the introduction of multiqueue, we want
coroutines to remain on the same AioContext that started them,
unless they are moved explicitly with e.g. aio_co_schedule. This patch
avoids that coroutines switch AioContext when they use a CoMutex.
For now it does not make much of a difference, because the CoMutex
is not thread-safe and the AioContext itself is used to protect the
CoMutex from concurrent access. However, this is going to change.

A coroutine that takes a lock must also release it again. If the
coroutine terminates without having released all its locks, it's buggy
and we'll probably run into a deadlock sooner or later. Make sure that
we don't get such cases.

In cases of deadlocks, knowing who holds a given CoMutex is really
helpful for debugging. Keeping the information around doesn't cost much
and allows us to add another assertion to keep the code correct, so
let's just add it.

In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.
Mostly done with the following semantic patch:
@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;
@@
- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);
@ entry2 @
expression entry, arg;
identifier co;
@@
- Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);
@ entry3 @
expression entry, arg;
@@
- qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry), arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg));
@ reentry @
expression co;
@@
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);
except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch
stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

CoQueue do not need to remove any element but the head of the list;
processing is always strictly FIFO. Therefore, the simpler singly-linked
QSIMPLEQ can be used instead.

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.

The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y
variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by
more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine
yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the
coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely
self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a
library, making it widely available.
The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the
include/block directory, since they are now part of the util
codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory
either.
