Please make sure to acquire AioContext so that this is safe with
dataplane.

Here the tricky thing is that bs and target_bs must have the same
AioContext.  The easiest thing is to refuse if their AioContexts are not
identical, but that puts the onus on the user to put the
BlockDriverStates into the same AioContext.
