Kirill noticied that on recent versions on QEMU he was not able to
trigger SysRq to invoke debug capabilites of Linux Kernel. He tracked
it down to qemu_chr_be_event() ignoring CHR_EVENT_BREAK due s->be
being NULL. The bug was introduced in 2.8, commit a4afa548fc6d ("char:
move front end handlers in CharBackend"). Since the commit, the
qemu_chr_be_event() failed to deliver CHR_EVENT_BREAK due to
qemu_chr_fe_init() does not set s->be in case of mux.
Let's fix this by teaching mux to send an event to the frontend with
the focus.
