The .io_flush() handler no longer exists and has no users.  Drop the
io_flush argument to aio_set_fd_handler() and related functions.

The AioFlushEventNotifierHandler and AioFlushHandler typedefs are no
longer used and are dropped too.

BH will be used outside big lock, so introduce lock to protect
between the writers, ie, bh's adders and deleter. The lock only
affects the writers and bh's callback does not take this extra lock.
Note that for the same AioContext, aio_bh_poll() can not run in
parallel yet.

This patch adds a ThreadPool to AioContext.  It's possible that some
AioContext instances will never use the ThreadPool, so defer creation
until aio_get_thread_pool().

The reason why AioContext should have the ThreadPool is because the
ThreadPool is bound to a AioContext instance where the work item's
callback function is invoked.  It doesn't make sense to keep the
ThreadPool pointer anywhere other than AioContext.  For example,
block/raw-posix.c can get its AioContext's ThreadPool and submit work.

Special note about headers: I used struct ThreadPool in aio.h because
there is a circular dependency if aio.h includes thread-pool.h.

AioHandler already has a GPollFD so we can directly use its
events/revents.

Add the int pollfds_idx field to AioContext so we can map g_poll(3)
results back to AioHandlers.

Reuse aio_dispatch() to invoke handlers after g_poll(3).

aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it
didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too
early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed
assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
and the function didn't really drain all requests.

In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the
function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the
return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so
this change shouldn't cause any trouble.

Now that AIOPool no longer keeps a freelist, it isn't really a "pool"
anymore.  Rename it to AIOCBInfo and make it const since it no longer

AIO control blocks are frequently acquired and released because each aio
request involves at least one AIOCB.  Therefore, we pool them to avoid
heap allocation overhead.

The problem with the freelist approach in AIOPool is thread-safety.  If
we want BlockDriverStates to associate with AioContexts that execute in
multiple threads, then a global freelist becomes a problem.

This patch drops the freelist and instead uses g_slice_alloc() which is
tuned for per-thread fixed-size object pools.  qemu_aio_get() and
qemu_aio_release() are now thread-safe.

Note that the change from g_malloc0() to g_slice_alloc() should be safe
since the freelist reuse case doesn't zero the AIOCB either.

This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations.  It's
only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.  

Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
support registration.  This patch introduces a new function,
qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
called back.  qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
with this function until one becomes readable or writable.

This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
(like NBD).
