It's possible that the migration thread skip the join() of the rp_thread in
below race and crash on src right at finishing migration:
migration_thread rp_thread
---------------- ---------
migration_completion()
(before rp_thread quits)
from_dst_file=NULL
[thread got scheduled out]
s->rp_state.from_dst_file==NULL
(skip join() of rp_thread)
migrate_fd_cleanup()
qemu_fclose(s->to_dst_file)
yank_unregister_instance()
assert(yank_find_entry()) <------- crash
It could mostly happen with postcopy, but that shouldn't be required, e.g., I
think it could also trigger with MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_RETURN_PATH set.
It's suspected that above race could be the root cause of a recent (but rare)
migration-test break reported by either Dave or PMM:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/YPamXAHwan%2FPPXLf@work-vm/
The issue is: from_dst_file is reset in the rp_thread, so if the thread reset
it to NULL fast enough then the migration thread will assume there's no
rp_thread at all.
This could potentially cause more severe issue (e.g. crash) after the yank code.
Fix it by using a boolean to keep "whether we've created rp_thread".
