dataplane: submit I/O as a batch

Before commit 580b6b2a(dataplane: use the QEMU block
layer for I/O), dataplane for virtio-blk submits block
I/O as a batch.

This commit 580b6b2a replaces the custom linux AIO
implementation(including submit I/O as a batch) with QEMU
block layer, but this commit causes ~40% throughput regression
on virtio-blk performance, and removing submitting I/O
as a batch is one of the causes.

This patch applies the newly introduced bdrv_io_plug() and
bdrv_io_unplug() interfaces to support submitting I/O
at batch for Qemu block layer, and in my test, the change
can improve throughput by ~30% with 'aio=native'.

Following my fio test script:

	[global]
	direct=1
	size=4G
	bsrange=4k-4k
	timeout=40
	numjobs=4
	ioengine=libaio
	iodepth=64
	filename=/dev/vdc
	group_reporting=1

	[f]
	rw=randread

Result on one of my small machine(host: x86_64, 2cores, 4thread, guest: 4cores):
	- qemu master: 65K IOPS
	- qemu master with these patches: 92K IOPS
	- 2.0.0 release(dataplane using custom linux aio): 104K IOPS
