While debugging my "[PULL 00/10] Block jobs & NBD patches", I found that we 
have bdrv_dec_in_flight() and bdrv_inc_in_flight().

So, this should be fixed:

In some scenarios, when copy-before-write operations lasts too long
time, it's better to cancel it.

Most useful would be to use the new option together with
on-cbw-error=break-snapshot: this way if cbw operation takes too long
time we'll just cancel backup process but do not disturb the guest too
much.

Just bdrv_dec_in_flight(bs), which includes aio_wait_kick().

I'm going to resend "[PULL 00/10] Block jobs & NBD patches" with this fix and 
with fix in 03, if no objections.
