[PATCH 00/11] block: Re-enable the graph lock

[Kevin Wolf]

This series fixes the deadlock that was observed before commit ad128dff
('graph-lock: Disable locking for now'), which just disabled the graph
lock completely as a workaround to get 8.0.1 stable.

In theory the problem is simple: We can't poll while still holding the
lock of a different AioContext. So bdrv_graph_wrlock() just needs to
drop that lock before it polls. However, there are a number of callers
that don't even hold the AioContext lock they are supposed to hold, so
temporarily unlocking tries to unlock a mutex that isn't locked,
resulting in assertion failures.

Therefore, much of this series is just for fixing AioContext locking
correctness. It is only the last two patches that actually fix the
deadlock and reenable the graph locking.
