I tried to check that all accesses of .aiocb are actually protected by
the AioContext lock. I stopped at scsi_read_data(), which asserts that
it is non-NULL, but it is only called as a SCSIReqOps function. I
couldn't find any information on what the locking rules are with
SCSIReqOps functions and didn't feel like reverse engineering scsi-bus
etc. without just asking first.

The same question applies to:
- scsi_read_data
- scsi_write_data
- scsi_disk_emulate_write_data
- scsi_disk_emulate_command

Since these are not callbacks scheduled in the AioContext by scsi-disk
itself, I expect that they are indeed covered. The acquire/release pair
in virtio_scsi_handle_cmd() might actually indirectly cover all of them,
but I haven't checked that.

Either way, the changes that you're making look good:
