Michal Privoznik 988218ca3f virDomainGetBlockJobInfo: Fix corner case when qemu reports no info
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372613

Apparently, some management applications use the following code
pattern when waiting for a block job to finish:

  while (1) {
    virDomainGetBlockJobInfo(dom, disk, info, flags);

    if (info.cur == info.end)
        break;

    sleep(1);
  }

Problem with this approach is in its corner cases. In case of
QEMU, libvirt merely pass what has been reported on the monitor.
However, if the block job hasn't started yet, qemu reports cur ==
end == 0 which tricks mgmt apps into thinking job is complete.

The solution is to mangle cur/end values as described here [1].

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
