migration: use bdrv_drain_all_begin/end() instead bdrv_drain_all()


blk/bdrv_drain_all() only takes effect for a single instant and then
resumes block jobs, guest devices, and other external clients like the
NBD server.  This can be handy when performing a synchronous drain
before terminating the program, for example.

Monitor commands usually need to quiesce I/O across an entire code
region so blk/bdrv_drain_all() is not suitable.  They must use
bdrv_drain_all_begin/end() to mark the region.  This prevents new I/O
requests from slipping in or worse - block jobs completing and modifying
the graph.

I audited other blk/bdrv_drain_all() callers but did not find anything
that needs a similar fix.  This patch fixes the savevm/loadvm commands.
Although I haven't encountered a read world issue this makes the code
safer.
