block: avoid unnecessary bottom halves

bdrv_aio_* APIs can use coroutines to achieve asynchronicity.  However,
the coroutine may terminate without having yielded back to the caller
(for example because of something that invokes a nested event loop,
or because the coroutine is doing nothing at all).  In this case,
the bdrv_aio_* API must delay the completion to the next iteration
of the main loop, because bdrv_aio_* will never invoke the callback
before returning.

This can be done with a bottom half, and indeed bdrv_aio_* is always
using one for simplicity.  It is possible to gain some performance
(~3%) by avoiding this in the common case.  A new field in the
BlockAIOCBCoroutine struct is set to true until the first time the
corotine has yielded to its creator, and completion goes through a
new function bdrv_co_complete.  If the flag is false, bdrv_co_complete
invokes the callback immediately.  If it is true, the caller will
notice that the coroutine has completed and schedule the bottom
half itself.
