[PATCH v3 2/2] coroutine: take exactly one batch from global pool at a time

[wanghonghao]

This patch replace the global coroutine queue with a lock-free stack of which
the elements are coroutine queues. Threads can put coroutine queues into the
stack or take queues from it and each coroutine queue has exactly
POOL_BATCH_SIZE coroutines. Note that the stack is not strictly LIFO, but it's
enough for buffer pool.

Coroutines will be put into thread-local pools first while release. Now the
fast pathes of both allocation and release are atomic-free, and there won't
be too many coroutines remain in a single thread since POOL_BATCH_SIZE has been
reduced to 16.

In practice, I've run a VM with two block devices binding to two different
iothreads, and run fio with iodepth 128 on each device. It maintains around
400 coroutines and has about 1% chance of calling to `qemu_coroutine_new`
without this patch. And with this patch, it maintains no more than 273
coroutines and doesn't call `qemu_coroutine_new` after initial allocations.
