Re: [PATCH 5/5] qemu: migration: Reactivate block nodes after migration if VM is left paused

On incoming migration qemu doesn't activate the block graph nodes right away. This is to properly facilitate locking of the images. The block nodes are normally re-activated when starting the CPUs after migration, but in cases (e.g. when a paused VM was migrated) when the VM is left paused the block nodes are not re-activated by qemu. This means that blockjobs which would want to write to an existing backing chain member would fail. Generally read-only jobs would succeed with older qemu's but this was not intended. Instead with new qemu you'll always get an error if attempting to access a inactive node: error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-mirror': Inactive 'libvirt-1-storage' can't be a backing child of active '#block052' This is the case for explicit blockjobs (virsh blockcopy) but also for non shared-storage migration (virsh migrate --copy-storage-all). Since qemu now provides 'blockdev-set-active' QMP command which can on-demand re-activate the nodes we can re-activate them in similar cases as when we'd be starting vCPUs if the VM weren't left paused. The only exception is on the source in case of a failed post-copy migration as the VM already ran on destination so it won't ever run on the source even when recovered.
