Okay, fair, maybe fixing the specific problem is more important that
solving the more generic blk_get_aio_context() race.

In this case, wouldn't it be enough to increase the in-flight counter so
that the drain before switching AioContexts would run the BH before
anything bad can happen? Does the following work?
