When finishing the final iteration of dirty_log_test testcase, set
host_quit _before_ the final "continue" so that the vCPU worker doesn't
run an extra iteration, and delete the hack-a-fix of an extra "continue"
from the dirty ring testcase. This fixes a bug where the extra post to
sem_vcpu_cont may not be consumed, which results in failures in subsequent
runs of the testcases. The bug likely was missed during development as
x86 supports only a single "guest mode", i.e. there aren't any subsequent
testcases after the dirty ring test, because for_each_guest_mode() only
runs a single iteration.
For the regular dirty log testcases, letting the vCPU run one extra
iteration is a non-issue as the vCPU worker waits on sem_vcpu_cont if and
only if the worker is explicitly told to stop (vcpu_sync_stop_requested).
But for the dirty ring test, which needs to periodically stop the vCPU to
reap the dirty ring, letting the vCPU resume the guest _after_ the last
iteration means the vCPU will get stuck without an extra "continue".
However, blindly firing off an post to sem_vcpu_cont isn't guaranteed to
be consumed, e.g. if the vCPU worker sees host_quit==true before resuming
the guest. This results in a dangling sem_vcpu_cont, which leads to
subsequent iterations getting out of sync, as the vCPU worker will
continue on before the main task is ready for it to resume the guest,
leading to a variety of asserts, e.g.
==== Test Assertion Failure ====

Didn't continue vcpu even without ring full
Alternatively, the test could simply reset the semaphores before each
testcase, but papering over hacks with more hacks usually ends in tears.
