block-backend: Fix potential double blk_delete()
blk_unref() first decreases the refcount of the BlockBackend and calls blk_delete() if the refcount reaches zero. Requests can still be in flight at this point, they are only drained during blk_delete(): At this point, arbitrary callbacks can run. If any callback takes a temporary BlockBackend reference, it will first increase the refcount to 1 and then decrease it to 0 again, triggering another blk_delete(). This will cause a use-after-free crash in the outer blk_delete(). Fix it by draining the BlockBackend before decreasing to refcount to 0. Assert in blk_ref() that it never takes the first refcount (which would mean that the BlockBackend is already being deleted).
