[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] job: Fix nested aio_poll() hanging in job_txn_apply

[Fam Zheng]

All callers have acquired ctx already. Doing that again results in
aio_poll() hang. This fixes the problem that a BDRV_POLL_WHILE() in the
callback cannot make progress because ctx is recursively locked, for
example, when drive-backup finishes.
