It can be useful to run an AioContext from a thread which normally does
not "own" the AioContext. For example, request draining can be
implemented by acquiring the AioContext and looping aio_poll() until all
requests have been completed.
The following pattern should work:
/* Event loop thread */
while (running) {
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
aio_poll(ctx, true);
aio_context_release(ctx);
}
/* Another thread */
aio_context_acquire(ctx);
bdrv_read(bs, 0x1000, buf, 1);
aio_context_release(ctx);
This patch implements aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release().
Note that existing aio_poll() callers do not need to worry about
acquiring and releasing - it is only needed when multiple threads will
call aio_poll() on the same AioContext.

Add a QEMUTimerListGroup each AioContext (meaning a QEMUTimerList
associated with each clock is added) and delete it when the
AioContext is freed.

include/qemu/timer.h has no need to include main-loop.h and
doing so causes an issue for the next patch. Unfortunately
various files assume including timers.h will pull in main-loop.h.
Untangle this mess.

The .io_flush() handler no longer exists and has no users. Drop the
io_flush argument to aio_set_fd_handler() and related functions.
The AioFlushEventNotifierHandler and AioFlushHandler typedefs are no
longer used and are dropped too.

BH will be used outside big lock, so introduce lock to protect
between the writers, ie, bh's adders and deleter. The lock only
affects the writers and bh's callback does not take this extra lock.
Note that for the same AioContext, aio_bh_poll() can not run in
parallel yet.

This patch adds a ThreadPool to AioContext. It's possible that some
AioContext instances will never use the ThreadPool, so defer creation
until aio_get_thread_pool().
The reason why AioContext should have the ThreadPool is because the
ThreadPool is bound to a AioContext instance where the work item's
callback function is invoked. It doesn't make sense to keep the
ThreadPool pointer anywhere other than AioContext. For example,
block/raw-posix.c can get its AioContext's ThreadPool and submit work.
Special note about headers: I used struct ThreadPool in aio.h because
there is a circular dependency if aio.h includes thread-pool.h.

AioHandler already has a GPollFD so we can directly use its
events/revents.
Add the int pollfds_idx field to AioContext so we can map g_poll(3)
results back to AioHandlers.
Reuse aio_dispatch() to invoke handlers after g_poll(3).

aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it
didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too
early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed
assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
and the function didn't really drain all requests.
In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the
function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the
return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so
this change shouldn't cause any trouble.
