2d1962958177cb80a491e4767c41bf6d82dbbc83 block-backend: split blk_do_set_aio_context()
blk_set_aio_context() is not fully transactional because
blk_do_set_aio_context() updates blk->ctx outside the transaction. Most
of the time this goes unnoticed but a BlockDevOps.drained_end() callback
that invokes blk_get_aio_context() fails assert(ctx == blk->ctx). This
happens because blk->ctx is only assigned after
BlockDevOps.drained_end() is called and we're in an intermediate state
where BlockDrvierState nodes already have the new context and the
BlockBackend still has the old context.
Making blk_set_aio_context() fully transactional solves this assertion
failure because the BlockBackend's context is updated as part of the
transaction (before BlockDevOps.drained_end() is called).
Split blk_do_set_aio_context() in order to solve this assertion failure.
This helper function actually serves two different purposes:
1. It drives blk_set_aio_context().
2. It responds to BdrvChildClass->change_aio_ctx().
Get rid of the helper function. Do #1 inside blk_set_aio_context() and
do #2 inside blk_root_set_aio_ctx_commit(). This simplifies the code.
The only drawback of the fully transactional approach is that
blk_set_aio_context() must contend with blk_root_set_aio_ctx_commit()
being invoked as part of the AioContext change propagation. This can be
solved by temporarily setting blk->allow_aio_context_change to true.
Future patches call blk_get_aio_context() from
BlockDevOps->drained_end(), so this patch will become necessary.
