[PATCH v2 09/10] child_job_drained_poll: override polling condition only when in home thread

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

drv->drained_poll() is only implemented in mirror, and allows
it to drain from within the coroutine. The mirror implementation uses
in_drain flag to recognize when it is draining from coroutine,
and consequently avoid deadlocking (wait the poll condition in
child_job_drained_poll to wait for itself).

The problem is that this flag is dangerous, because it breaks
bdrv_drained_begin() invariants: once drained_begin ends, all
jobs, in_flight requests, and anything running in the iothread
are blocked.

This can be broken in such way:
iothread(mirror): s->in_drain = true; // mirror.c:1112
main loop: bdrv_drained_begin(mirror_bs);
/*
 * drained_begin wait for bdrv_drain_poll_top_level() condition,
 * that translates in child_job_drained_poll() for jobs, but
 * mirror implements drv->drained_poll() so it returns
 * !!in_flight_requests, which his 0 (assertion in mirror.c:1105).
 */
main loop: thinks iothread is stopped and is modifying the graph...
iothread(mirror): *continues*, as nothing is stopping it
iothread(mirror): bdrv_drained_begin(bs);
/* draining reads the graph while it is modified!! */
main loop: done modifying the graph...

In order to fix this, we can simply allow drv->drained_poll()
to be called only by the iothread, and not the main loop.
We distinguish it by using in_aio_context_home_thread(), that
returns false if @ctx is not the same as the thread that runs it.
