[PATCH v3 1/1] block/blkio: use qemu_open() to support fd passing for virtio-blk

[Stefano Garzarella]

The virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver in libblkio 1.3.0 supports the new
'fd' property. Let's expose this to the user, so the management layer
can pass the file descriptor of an already opened vhost-vdpa character
device. This is useful especially when the device can only be accessed
with certain privileges.

If the libblkio virtio-blk driver supports fd passing, let's always
use qemu_open() to open the `path`, so we can handle fd passing
from the management layer through the "/dev/fdset/N" special path.
