This series contains a couple minor cleanups related to free page hinting.
The first patch addresses what I believe is a possible issue in which the
driver could potentially force the device out of the stop state and back
into the running state if it were to replay an earlier virtqueue element
containing the same ID it had submitted earlier.
The second patch takes care of a possible race due to a mutex lock not being
used when starting the hinting from the device-side.
The final patch takes care of renaming various hinting objects that were
using "reporting" in the name to try and clarify which objects are for free
page reporting and which are for free page hinting.
Changes from v1:
Split first patch into two patches as each addresses a separate issue.
Added acked-by for first patch.
Changes from v2:
Added Acked-by for patch 2
Added comment to patch 2 about it fixing Coverity issue
Rebased on latest pull of QEMU
