I suggest doing this in the BH.  The qemu_aio_wait() loop in
qemu_rbd_aio_cancel() needs to wait until the BH has executed.  By
clearing status in the BH we ensure that no matter in which order
qemu_aio_wait() invokes BHs and callbacks, we'll always wait until the
BH has completed before ending the while loop in qemu_rbd_aio_cancel().

This scenario is impossible.  We haven't returned the acb back to the
caller yet so they could not have invoked qemu_aio_cancel().
