    monitor: allow device to be ejected if no disk is inserted · 3b5276b5

    This changes the monitor eject_device() function to not check for
    bdrv_is_inserted().
    
    Example run where the bug manifests itself:
    
    (output of 'info block' is stripped to include only the CD-ROM device)
    
      (qemu) info block
      ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted]
      (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /dev/cdrom host_cdrom
      (qemu) info block
      ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 file=/dev/cdrom ro=1 drv=host_cdrom encrypted=0
      (qemu) eject ide1-cd0
      (qemu) info block
      ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 file=/dev/cdrom ro=1 drv=host_cdrom encrypted=0
    
      # at this point, a disk was inserted on the host CD-ROM drive
    
      (qemu) info block
      ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 file=/dev/cdrom ro=1 drv=host_cdrom encrypted=0
      (qemu) eject ide1-cd0
      (qemu) info block
      ide1-cd0: type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted]
      (qemu)
    
    The first eject command didn't work because the is_inserted() check
    failed.
    
    I have no clue why the code had the is_inserted() check, as it doesn't matter
    if there is a disk present at the host drive, when the user wants the virtual
    device to be disconnected from the host device.
    
    The is_inserted() check has another side effect: a memory leak if the "change"
    command is used multiple times, as do_change() calls eject_device() before
    re-opening the block device, but bdrv_close() is never called.
