vl.c: do not execute trace_init_backends() before daemonizing
Commit v5.2.0-190-g0546c0609c ("vl: split various early command line options to a separate function") moved the trace backend init code to the qemu_process_early_options(). Which is now being called before os_daemonize() via qemu_maybe_daemonize(). Turns out that this change of order causes a problem when executing QEMU in daemon mode and with CONFIG_TRACE_SIMPLE. The trace thread is now being created by the parent, and the parent is left waiting for a trace file flush that was registered via st_init(). The result is that the parent process never exits. To reproduce, fire up a QEMU process with -daemonize and with CONFIG_TRACE_SIMPLE enabled. Two QEMU process will be left in the host: $ sudo ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -no-user-config -nodefaults \ -nographic -machine none,accel=kvm:tcg -daemonize $ ps axf | grep qemu 529710 pts/3 S+ 0:00 | \_ grep --color=auto qemu 529697 ? Ssl 0:00 \_ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -no-user-config -nodefaults -nographic -machine none,accel=kvm:tcg -daemonize 529699 ? Sl 0:00 \_ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -no-user-config -nodefaults -nographic -machine none,accel=kvm:tcg -daemonize The parent thread is hang in flush_trace_file: $ sudo gdb ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 529697 (..)

Libvirt waits for the parent process to exit to be sure that the QMP monitor is available in the daemonized process to fetch QEMU capabilities, and as is now Libvirt hangs at daemon start waiting for the parent thread to exit. The fix is simple: just move the trace backend related code back to be executed after daemonizing.
