block: Convert bdrv_refresh_total_sectors() to co_wrapper_mixed
BlockDriver->bdrv_getlength is categorized as IO callback, and it currently doesn't run in a coroutine. We should let it take a graph rdlock since the callback traverses the block nodes graph, which however is only possible in a coroutine. Therefore turn it into a co_wrapper to move the actual function into a coroutine where the lock can be taken. Because now this function creates a new coroutine and polls, we need to take the AioContext lock where it is missing, for the only reason that internally co_wrapper calls AIO_WAIT_WHILE and it expects to release the AioContext lock. This is especially messy when a co_wrapper creates a coroutine and polls in bdrv_open_driver, because this function has so many callers in so many context that it can easily lead to deadlocks. Therefore the new rule for bdrv_open_driver is that the caller must always hold the AioContext lock of the given bs (except if it is a coroutine), because the function calls bdrv_refresh_total_sectors() which is now a co_wrapper. Once the rwlock is ultimated and placed in every place it needs to be, we will poll using AIO_WAIT_WHILE_UNLOCKED and remove the AioContext lock.
