* resctrl: Use exclusive lock for /sys/fs/resctrl
When two or more domains were attempted to start at once, due to a bug in
implementation, resctrl was not locked properly and thus threads did not
mutually exclude with each other resulting in not setting requested
limitations.
* mdev: Fix daemon crash when reattaching mdevs on assignment conflict
If there's a list of mdevs to be assigned to a domain, but one of them (NOT
the first) is already assigned to a different domain then libvirtd would
crash. This is now fixed.
* Fix logic in setting COW flag on btrfs
When COW is not explicitly requested to be disabled or enabled, then
libvirt should do nothing on non-BTRFS file systems.
* Avoid crash due to race in glib event loop code
Libvirt switched to glib event loop in 6.1.0 but it was also tickling a bug
in glib code leading to the daemon crash. Libvirt way of calling glib was
changed so the daemon crashes no more.
* virdevmapper: Handle kernel without device-mapper support
In the previous release, Libvirt dropped libdevmapper in favor of its own
implementation. But the implementation did not handle kernels without
device-mapper support. This is now fixed.
