Since we have separate handler on POLLHUP, which drops data
after closing the connection we need to fix this test, because
it sends data and instantly close the socket creating race condition.
In some cases on other end of socket client closes it faster than
reads data. To prevent it I suggest to close socket after recieving.

The following behavior was observed for QEMU configured by libvirt
to use guest agent as usual for the guests without virtio-serial
driver (Windows or the guest remaining in BIOS stage).
In QEMU on first connect to listen character device socket
the listen socket is removed from poll just after the accept().
virtio_serial_guest_ready() returns 0 and the descriptor
of the connected Unix socket is removed from poll and it will
not be present in poll() until the guest will initialize the driver
and change the state of the serial to "guest connected".
In libvirt connect() to guest agent is performed on restart and
is run under VM state lock. Connect() is blocking and can
wait forever.
In this case libvirt can not perform ANY operation on that VM.
The bug can be easily reproduced this way:
Terminal 1:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -device pci-serial,chardev=serial1 -chardev socket,id=serial1,path=/tmp/console.sock,server,nowait
(virtio-serial and isa-serial also fit)
Terminal 2:
minicom -D unix\#/tmp/console.sock
(type something and press enter)
C-a x (to exit)
Do 3 times:
minicom -D unix\#/tmp/console.sock
C-a x
It needs 4 connections, because the first one is accepted by QEMU, then two are queued by
the kernel, and the 4th blocks.
The problem is that QEMU doesn't add a read watcher after succesful read
until the guest device wants to acquire recieved data, so
I propose to install a separate pullhup watcher regardless of
whether the device waits for data or not.
