block: Only the main loop can change AioContexts
bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() can only work in the main loop: bdrv_drained_begin() only works in the main loop and the node's (old) AioContext; and bdrv_drained_end() really only works in the main loop and the node's (new) AioContext (contrary to its current comment, which is just wrong). Consequentially, bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() must be called from the main loop. Luckily, assuming that we can make block graph changes only from the main loop as well, all its callers do that already. Note that changing a node's context in a sense is an operation that changes the block graph, so it actually makes sense to require this function to be called from the main loop. Also, fix bdrv_drained_end()'s description. You can only use it from the main loop or the node's AioContext, and in the latter case, the whole subtree must be in the same context.
