[PATCH 1/2] test-bdrv-drain.c: remove test_detach_by_parent_cb()

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito <eesposit@redhat.com>]

This test uses a callback of an I/O function (blk_aio_preadv)
to modify the graph, using bdrv_attach_child.
This is simply not allowed anymore. I/O cannot change the graph.

The problem in this test is in:

acb = blk_aio_preadv(blk, 0, &qiov, 0, detach_by_parent_aio_cb, NULL);
/* Drain and check the expected result */
bdrv_subtree_drained_begin(parent_b);

because the detach_by_parent_aio_cb calls detach_indirect_bh(), that
modifies the graph and is invoked during bdrv_subtree_drained_begin().
The call stack is the following:
1. blk_aio_preadv() creates a coroutine, increments in_flight counter
and enters the coroutine running blk_aio_read_entry()
2. blk_aio_read_entry() performs the read and then schedules a bh to
   complete (blk_aio_complete)
3. at this point, subtree_drained_begin() kicks in and waits for all
   in_flight requests, polling
4. polling allows the bh to be scheduled, so blk_aio_complete runs
5. blk_aio_complete *first* invokes the callback
   (detach_by_parent_aio_cb) and then decrements the in_flight counter
6. Here is the problem: detach_by_parent_aio_cb modifies the graph,
   so both bdrv_unref_child() and bdrv_attach_child() will have
   subtree_drains inside. And this causes a deadlock, because the
   nested drain will wait for in_flight counter to go to zero, which
   is only happening once the drain itself finishes.

Different story is test_detach_by_driver_cb(): in this case,
detach_by_parent_aio_cb() does not call detach_indirect_bh(),
but it is instead called as a bh running in the main loop by
detach_by_driver_cb_drained_begin(), the callback for
.drained_begin().

This test was added in 231281ab42 and part of the series
"Drain fixes and cleanups, part 3"
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2018-05/msg01132.html
but as explained above I believe that it is not valid anymore, and
can be discarded.
