[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 16/17] job: Avoid deadlocks in job_completed_txn_abort()

[Kevin Wolf]

Amongst others, job_finalize_single() calls the .prepare/.commit/.abort
callbacks of the individual job driver. Recently, their use was adapted
for all block jobs so that they involve code calling AIO_WAIT_WHILE()
now. Such code must be called under the AioContext lock for the
respective job, but without holding any other AioContext lock.
