block-backend: prevent dangling BDS pointers across aio_poll()

The BlockBackend root child can change when aio_poll() is invoked. This
happens when a temporary filter node is removed upon blockjob
completion, for example.

Functions in block/block-backend.c must be aware of this when using a
blk_bs() pointer across aio_poll() because the BlockDriverState refcnt
may reach 0, resulting in a stale pointer.

One example is scsi_device_purge_requests(), which calls blk_drain() to
wait for in-flight requests to cancel. If the backup blockjob is active,
then the BlockBackend root child is a temporary filter BDS owned by the
blockjob. The blockjob can complete during bdrv_drained_begin() and the
last reference to the BDS is released when the temporary filter node is
removed. This results in a use-after-free when blk_drain() calls
bdrv_drained_end(bs) on the dangling pointer.

Explicitly hold a reference to bs across block APIs that invoke
aio_poll().
