[PATCH v2 4/4] virtio-scsi: Configure all host notifiers in a single MR transaction

[Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>]

This allows the virtio-scsi-pci device to batch the setup of all its
host notifiers. This significantly improves boot time of VMs with a
high number of vCPUs, e.g. from 6m5.563s down to 1m2.884s for a
pseries machine with 384 vCPUs.

Note that memory_region_transaction_commit() must be called before
virtio_bus_cleanup_host_notifier() because the latter might close
ioeventfds that the transaction still assumes to be around when it
commits.
