v2:
- Do not rely on BlockBackend request queuing, implement .drained_begin/end()
  instead in xen-block, virtio-blk, and virtio-scsi [Paolo]
- Add qdev_is_realized() API [Philippe]
- Add patch to avoid AioContext lock around blk_exp_ref/unref() [Paolo]
- Add patch to call .drained_begin/end() from main loop thread to simplify
  callback implementations

The aio_disable_external() API temporarily suspends file descriptor monitoring
in the event loop. The block layer uses this to prevent new I/O requests being
submitted from the guest and elsewhere between bdrv_drained_begin() and
bdrv_drained_end().

While the block layer still needs to prevent new I/O requests in drained
sections, the aio_disable_external() API can be replaced with
.drained_begin/end/poll() callbacks that have been added to BdrvChildClass and
BlockDevOps.

This newer .bdrained_begin/end/poll() approach is attractive because it works
without specifying a specific AioContext. The block layer is moving towards
multi-queue and that means multiple AioContexts may be processing I/O
simultaneously.

The aio_disable_external() was always somewhat hacky. It suspends all file
descriptors that were registered with is_external=true, even if they have
nothing to do with the BlockDriverState graph nodes that are being drained.
It's better to solve a block layer problem in the block layer than to have an
odd event loop API solution.

The approach in this patch series is to implement BlockDevOps
.drained_begin/end() callbacks that temporarily stop file descriptor handlers.
This ensures that new I/O requests are not submitted in drained sections.

The first two virtio-scsi patches were already sent as a separate series. I
included them because they are necessary in order to fully remove
aio_disable_external().

  block/export: wait for vhost-user-blk requests when draining
  block/export: stop using is_external in vhost-user-blk server
  hw/xen: do not use aio_set_fd_handler(is_external=true) in
    xen_xenstore
  block: add blk_in_drain() API
