virtio-scsi: fix race in virtio_scsi_dataplane_start()
As soon as virtio_scsi_data_plane_start() attaches host notifiers the
IOThread may start virtqueue processing. There is a race between
IOThread virtqueue processing and virtio_scsi_data_plane_start() because
it only assigns s->dataplane_started after attaching host notifiers.
When a virtqueue handler function in the IOThread calls
virtio_scsi_defer_to_dataplane() it may see !s->dataplane_started and
attempt to start dataplane even though we're already in the IOThread:

This patch assigns s->dataplane_started before attaching host notifiers
so that virtqueue handler functions that run in the IOThread before
virtio_scsi_data_plane_start() returns correctly identify that dataplane
does not need to be started. This fix is taken from the virtio-blk
dataplane code and it's worth adding a comment in virtio-blk as well to
explain why it works.
Note that s->dataplane_started does not need the AioContext lock because
it is set before attaching host notifiers and cleared after detaching
host notifiers. In other words, the IOThread always sees the value true
and the main loop thread does not modify it while the IOThread is
active.
