    blockjob: add block_job_defer_to_main_loop() · dec7d421

    Block jobs will run in the BlockDriverState's AioContext, which may not
    always be the QEMU main loop.
    
    There are some block layer APIs that are either not thread-safe or risk
    lock ordering problems.  This includes bdrv_unref(), bdrv_close(), and
    anything that calls bdrv_drain_all().
    
    The block_job_defer_to_main_loop() API allows a block job to schedule a
    function to run in the main loop with the BlockDriverState AioContext
    held.
    
    This function will be used to perform cleanup and backing chain
    manipulations in block jobs.
