Title:
  colo: pvm flush failed after svm killed

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
     Primary vm flush failed after killing svm, which leads primary vm guest filesystem unavailable.

  qemu versoin: 5.2.0
  host/guest os: CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

  Reproduce steps:
  1. create colo vm following https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/COLO-FT.txt
  2. kill secondary vm (don't remove nbd child from quorum on primary vm)and wait for a minute. the interval depends on guest os.
  result: primary vm file system shutdown because of flush cache error.

  After serveral tests, I found that qemu-5.0.0 worked well, and it's
  the commit
  https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=883833e29cb800b4d92b5d4736252f4004885191(block:
  Flush all children in generic code) leads this change, and both
  virtio-blk and ide turned out to be bad.

  I think it's nbd(replication) flush failed leads bdrv_co_flush(quorum_bs) failed, here is the call stack.
  #0  bdrv_co_flush (bs=0x56242b3cc0b0=nbd_bs) at ../block/io.c:2856
  #1  0x0000562428b0f399 in bdrv_co_flush (bs=0x56242b3c7e00=replication_bs) at ../block/io.c:2920

  While i am not sure whether i use colo inproperly? Can we assume that
  nbd child of quorum immediately removed right after svm crashed? Or
  it's really a bug? Does the following patch fix? Help is needed!
  Thanks a lot！
