[QEMU HCI-8.0 PATCH v2 0/5] vhost-blk change backend setup

[Andrey Zhadchenko <andrey.zhadchenko@virtuozzo.com>]

This series changes vhost-blk backend setup from block node to
a path to the device.
Getting fd from block node was a hack in the first place. It
looked ugly and broke encapsulation.
Change vhost-blk to have it's own property so it opens and owns
the descriptor.

Patches #4 implement auto-resize by watching netlink. The descripor
comes prepared with some filter from outside.

v2:
patch#1
 - old patch dropped

patch#2
 - moved double close fix to new 'do not double close vhostfd' patch
 - dropped DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES_BASE exposition to the outside. Let's
just use defaults for now. We can later check if tweaking this values
makes any difference and add them back.
 - change vhost_blk_update_size() to return zero or error and move 'changed'
to a separate argument
 - changed lseek to BLKGETSIZE64 (we already use BLKROGET anyway)

patch#3
 - check BLKROGET only if rw was requested

patch#4
 - rework patch a bit: now we expect opened and filtered fd from
libvirt.

patch#5
 - old one dropped, setup moved to libvirt
 - added new patch to support uevent socket cpr
