The current code recursively applies global properties from child up to
parent types. This can cause properties passed with the -global option to
be silently overridden by internal compat properties.
This is exactly what happened with virtio-*-pci drivers since commit:
"9a4c0e220d8a hw/virtio-pci: fix virtio behaviour"
Passing -device virtio-blk-pci.disable-modern=off had no effect on 2.6
machine types because the internal virtio-pci.disable-modern=on compat
property always prevailed.
A workaround for this was included with commit 0bcba41f ("machine:
Convert abstract typename on compat_props to subclass names").
This patch fixes the issue properly by reversing the logic: we now go
through the global property list and, for each property, we check if it
is applicable to the device.
This results in compat properties being applied first, in the order they
appear in the HW_COMPAT_* macros, followed by global properties, in the
order they appear on the command line.
