In the vhost-user-blk-test, as of now there is nothing stoping
vhost-user-blk in QEMU writing to the socket right after forking off the
storage daemon before it has a chance to come up properly, leaving the
test hanging forever. This intermittently hanging test has caused QEMU
automation failures reported multiple times on the mailing list [1].

This change makes the storage-daemon notify the vhost-user-blk-test
that it is fully initialized and ready to handle client connections via
a pipefd before allowing the test to proceed. This ensures that the
storage-daemon backend won't miss vhost-user messages and thereby
resolves the hang.

As I said on patch 1, I think the proper fix here is to utilize the
--pidfile option.

Instead of setting up a pipe()...

...change this to request the --pidfile option...

...and instead of trying to read() from a pipe, you instead wait until
the pid file exists.
