[PATCH 5/6] virtio-blk: tolerate failure to set BlockBackend AioContext

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

We no longer rely on setting the AioContext since the block layer
IO_CODE APIs can be called from any thread. Now it's just a hint to help
block jobs and other operations co-locate themselves in a thread with
the guest I/O requests. Keep going if setting the AioContext fails.
