Having the client polling thread perform an O(n) loop over all known
in-flight commands after each time the poll woke up is somewhat
inefficient, and in a multi-threaded setup requires additional locking
beyond libnbd to track the set of known command handles. Better is a
way for aio commands to call a notify callback the moment a specific
command is ready to complete, and then a separate thread can gather
the final completion status using just libnbd's locking, making the
polling loop more efficient. This also provides an opportunity to
clean up any opaque data and/or change the final command status (for
example, writing a strict validator for nbd_aio_pread_structured can
change the command from success to failure if the server violated
protocol by not returning chunks to cover the entire read).
We also want the client to be aware of any issued/in-flight commands
that failed because they were stranded when the state machine moved to
CLOSED or DEAD. Previously, nbd_aio_command_completed() would never
locate such stranded commands, but adding a common point to fire the
notifier for such commands makes it also possible to move those
commands to the completion queue.
This patch sets up the framework, with observable effects for stranded
commands per the testsuite changes, but nothing yet actually sets the
notify callback; that will come in the next patch.
