Currently, we set PostcopyState blindly to RUNNING, even we found the
previous state is not LISTENING. This will lead to a corner case.

First let's look at the code flow:

qemu_loadvm_state_main()
    ret = loadvm_process_command()
        loadvm_postcopy_handle_run()
            return -1;
    if (ret < 0) {
        if (postcopy_state_get() == POSTCOPY_INCOMING_RUNNING)
            ...
    }

From above snippet, the corner case is loadvm_postcopy_handle_run()
always sets state to RUNNING. And then it checks the previous state. If
the previous state is not LISTENING, it will return -1. But at this
moment, PostcopyState is already been set to RUNNING.

Then ret is checked in qemu_loadvm_state_main(), when it is -1
PostcopyState is checked. Current logic would pause postcopy and retry
if PostcopyState is RUNNING. This is not what we expect, because
postcopy is not active yet.

This patch makes sure state is set to RUNNING only previous state is
LISTENING by introducing an old_state parameter in postcopy_state_set().
New state only would be set when current state equals to old_state.

OK, it's a shame to use a pointer there, but it works.
Note, something else; using '-1' as the return value and checking for it
is something we do a lot; but in this case it's an example of an error
we could never recover from so it never makes sense to try and recover.
We should probably look at different types of error.

You mean second parameter of postcopy_state_set()?

I don't have a better idea. Or we introduce a new state
POSTCOPY_INCOMING_NOCHECK. Do you feel better with this?

Maybe simply fix loadvm_postcopy_handle_run() to set the state after
the POSTCOPY_INCOMING_LISTENING check?

It is true that we might hang on some real errors, but IMHO it might
be no where better to quit QEMU if we're in postcopy...

(What I'm thinking in mind here is that sometimes even if postcopy
 failed we might still have a chance to recover a full VM by dumping
 both src/dst of the during-postcopy VM instances and manually merge
 them by black magic, in very extreme cases)

Set state back to ps if ps is not POSTCOPY_INCOMING_LISTENING?

Sounds like another option.
