Linux Virtualization - Sep 2014 - [PATCH v3 0/2] virtio-rng: fix hotunplug

RHBZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121540

When we try to hot-unplugging a busy virtio-rng device, the device
can't be removed. And the reading process in guest gets stuck.

Those two patches fixed this issue by completing have_data completion
and preventing invalid reading.

Thanks for the help of Amit.

V2: reset data_avail (Amit)
    adjust unregister order
V3: split patch, update commitlog

When we try to hot-remove a busy virtio-rng device from QEMU monitor,
the device can't be hot-removed. Because virtio-rng driver hangs at
wait_for_completion_killable().

This patch exits the waiting by completing have_data completion before
unregistering, resets data_avail to avoid the hwrng core use wrong
buffer bytes.

Before we really unregister the hwrng device, reading will get stuck if
the virtio device is reset. We should return error for reading when we
start to remove the device.
