[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 06/15] qapi: Simplify inclusion cycle detection

[Markus Armbruster]

We maintain a stack of filenames in include_hist for convenient cycle
detection.

As error_path() demonstrates, the same information is readily
available in the expr_info, so just use that, and drop include_hist.
