[PATCH 3/3] block: Fix deadlock in bdrv_co_yield_to_drain()

[Kevin Wolf]

If bdrv_co_yield_to_drain() is called for draining a block node that
runs in a different AioContext, it keeps that AioContext locked while it
yields and schedules a BH in the AioContext to do the actual drain.

As long as executing the BH is the very next thing the event loop of the
node's AioContext, this actually happens to work, but when it tries to
execute something else that wants to take the AioContext lock, it will
deadlock. (In the bug report, this other thing is a virtio-scsi device
running virtio_scsi_data_plane_handle_cmd().)

Instead, always drop the AioContext lock across the yield and reacquire
it only when the coroutine is reentered. The BH needs to unconditionally
take the lock for itself now.

This fixes the 'block_resize' QMP command on a block node that runs in
an iothread.
