[PULL,28/29] multifd: Document the locking of MultiFD{Send/Recv}Params

Commit Message

Dr. David Alan Gilbert July 19, 2022, 5:02 p.m. UTC

From: Juan Quintela <[e-mail]>

Reorder the structures so we can know if the fields are:
- Read only
- Their own locking (i.e. sems)
- Protected by 'mutex'
- Only for the multifd channel
