I think this patch has another use.
For reasons I forget (init of the QemuTimerListGroup being one of them)
creation and deletion of AioContexts has to do be done with the BQL
held.
If a second thread is the ONLY user of the AioContext, this would allow
some synchronisation with the eventual deletion under the BQL on the
main thread.
