qemu-thread: use acquire/release to clarify semantics of QemuEvent
Do not use the somewhat mysterious atomic_mb_read/atomic_mb_set, instead make sure that the operations on QemuEvent are annotated with the desired acquire and release semantics. In particular, qemu_event_set wakes up the waiting thread, so it must be a release from the POV of the waker (compare with qemu_mutex_unlock). And it actually needs a full barrier, because that's the only thing that provides something like a "load-release". Use smp_mb_acquire until we have atomic_load_acquire and atomic_store_release in atomic.h. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
