[libvirt PATCH 1/3] util: make locking versions of virNetDevMacVLan(Reserve|Release)Name()
When these functions are called from within virnetdevmacvlan.c, they
are usually called with virNetDevMacVLanCreateMutex held, but when
virNetDevMacVLanReserveName() is called from other places (hypervisor
drivers keeping track of already-in-use macvlan/macvtap devices) the
lock isn't acquired. This could lead to a situation where one thread
is setting a bit in the bitmap to notify of a device already in-use,
while another thread is checking/setting/clearing a bit while creating
a new macvtap device.
In practice this *probably* doesn't happen, because the external calls
to virNetDevMacVLan() only happen during hypervisor driver init
routines when libvirtd is restarted, but there's no harm in protecting
ourselves.
(NB: virNetDevMacVLanReleaseName() is actually never called from
outside virnetdevmacvlan.c, so it could just as well be static, but
I'm leaving it as-is for now. This locking version *is* called
from within virnetdevmacvlan.c, since there are a couple places that
we used to call the unlocked version after the lock was already
released.)
