tests: virtio-9p: use the synth backend
The purpose of virtio-9p-test is to test the virtio-9p device, especially the 9p server state machine. We don't really care what fsdev backend we're using. Moreover, if we want to be able to test the flush request or a device reset with in-flights I/O, it is close to impossible to achieve with a physical backend because we cannot ask it reliably to put an I/O on hold at a specific point in time. Fortunately, we can do that with the synthetic backend, which allows to register callbacks on read/write accesses to a specific file. This will be used by a later patch to test the 9P flush request. The walk request test is converted to using the synth backend. Signed-off-by:Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> Reviewed-by:
