qemu_co_queue_next does not need to release and re-acquire the mutex,
because the queued coroutine does not run immediately. However, this
does not hold for qemu_co_enter_next. Now that qemu_co_queue_wait
can synchronize (via QemuLockable) with code that is not running in
coroutine context, it's important that code using qemu_co_enter_next
can easily use a standardized locking idiom.
First of all, qemu_co_enter_next must use aio_co_wake to restart the
coroutine. Second, the function gains a second argument, a QemuLockable*,
and the comments of qemu_co_queue_next and qemu_co_queue_restart_all
are adjusted to clarify the difference.

There are cases in which a queued coroutine must be restarted from
non-coroutine context (with qemu_co_enter_next). In this cases,
qemu_co_enter_next also needs to be thread-safe, but it cannot use
a CoMutex and so cannot qemu_co_queue_wait. Use QemuLockable so
that the CoQueue can interchangeably use CoMutex or QemuMutex.

QemuLockable is a polymorphic lock type that takes an object and
knows which function to use for locking and unlocking. The
implementation could use C11 _Generic, but since the support is
not very widespread I am instead using __builtin_choose_expr and
__builtin_types_compatible_p, which are already used by
include/qemu/atomic.h.
QemuLockable can be used to implement lock guards, or to pass around
a lock in such a way that a function can release it and re-acquire it.
The next patch will do this for CoQueue.

The AioContext pointer argument to co_aio_sleep_ns() is only used for
the sleep timer. It does not affect where the caller coroutine is
resumed.
Due to changes to coroutine and AIO APIs it is now possible to drop the
AioContext pointer argument. This is safe to do since no caller has
specific requirements for which AioContext the timer must run in.
This patch drops the AioContext pointer argument and renames the
function to simplify the API.

This adds a CoMutex around the existing CoQueue. Because the write-side
can just take CoMutex, the old "writer" field is not necessary anymore.
Instead of removing it altogether, count the number of pending writers
during a read-side critical section and forbid further readers from
entering.

Running a very small critical section on pthread_mutex_t and CoMutex
shows that pthread_mutex_t is much faster because it doesn't actually
go to sleep. What happens is that the critical section is shorter
than the latency of entering the kernel and thus FUTEX_WAIT always
fails. With CoMutex there is no such latency but you still want to
avoid wait and wakeup. So introduce it artificially.
This only works with one waiters; because CoMutex is fair, it will
always have more waits and wakeups than a pthread_mutex_t.

In the context of asynchronous work, if we have a worker coroutine that
didn't yield, the parent coroutine cannot be reentered because it hasn't
yielded yet. In this case we don't even have to reenter the parent
because it will see that the work is already done and won't even yield.

In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.
Mostly done with the following semantic patch:
@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;

- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);

stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

The coroutine files are currently referenced by the block-obj-y
variable. The coroutine functionality though is already used by
more than just the block code. eg migration code uses coroutine
yield. In the future the I/O channel code will also use the
coroutine yield functionality. Since the coroutine code is nicely
self-contained it can be easily built as part of the libqemuutil.a
library, making it widely available.
The headers are also moved into include/qemu, instead of the
include/block directory, since they are now part of the util
codebase, and the impl was never in the block/ directory
either.
