      block: Fix deadlocks in bdrv_graph_wrunlock() · 6bc0bcc8
      Kevin Wolf authored
      
      bdrv_graph_wrunlock() calls aio_poll(), which may run callbacks that
      have a nested event loop. Nested event loops can depend on other
      iothreads making progress, so in order to allow them to make progress it
      must not hold the AioContext lock of another thread while calling
      aio_poll().
      
      This introduces a @bs parameter to bdrv_graph_wrunlock() whose
      AioContext is temporarily dropped (which matches bdrv_graph_wrlock()),
      and a bdrv_graph_wrunlock_ctx() that can be used if the BlockDriverState
      doesn't necessarily exist any more when unlocking.
      
      This also requires a change to bdrv_schedule_unref(), which was relying
      on the incorrectly taken lock. It needs to take the lock itself now.
      While this is a separate bug, it can't be fixed a separate patch because
      otherwise the intermediate state would either deadlock or try to release
      a lock that we don't even hold.
