[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] blockdev: no need to drain in qmp_block_commit

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

Draining is not necessary, I/O can happen as soon as the
commit coroutine yields.  Draining can be necessary before
reopening the file for read/write, or while modifying the
backing file chain, but that is done separately in
bdrv_reopen_multiple or bdrv_close; this particular
bdrv_drain_all does nothing for that.
