Subject: [PATCH 07/16] main(): set current_machine before calling
 machine->init()

O-Subject: [RHEL-7.2 qemu-kvm PATCH 1/2] main(): set current_machine before calling machine->init()
Bugzilla: 1176283

Performing the assignment earlier allows machine->init() and its children
to access current_machine->name.

The alternative would be to pass QEMUMachineInitArgs down to
pc_memory_init() and even deeper, which I deem to cause more annoyance for
future backports than this patch.

Note that upstream commit 0056ae24bc36798fdd96d0b31e217e9f73896736 moved
the assignment similarly (but it is not backportable to RHEL-7).

This patch could only regress code that depends on the nullity of
"current_machine". I only found one such site, qemu_system_reset().
qemu_system_reset() is called from the following places:
- load_vmstate(), which is not called in the code straddled by the
  assignment movement,
- main_loop_should_exit(), ditto,
- later in main(),
- "xen-all.c", irrelevant.

Downstream only.
