[PATCH 4/4] dma-helpers: don't lock AioContext in dma_blk_cb()

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

Commit abfcd2760b3e ("dma-helpers: prevent dma_blk_cb() vs
dma_aio_cancel() race") acquired the AioContext lock inside dma_blk_cb()
to avoid a race with scsi_device_purge_requests() running in the main
loop thread.

The SCSI code no longer calls dma_aio_cancel() from the main loop thread
while I/O is running in the IOThread AioContext. Therefore it is no
longer necessary to take this lock to protect DMAAIOCB fields. The
->cb() function also does not require the lock because blk_aio_*() and
friends do not need the AioContext lock.

Both hw/ide/core.c and hw/ide/macio.c also call dma_blk_io() but don't
rely on it taking the AioContext lock, so this change is safe.
