Fix VM state change handlers running out of order

When a VM state change handler changes VM state, other VM state change
handlers can see the state transitions out of order.

bmdma_map(), scsi_disk_init() and virtio_blk_init() install VM state
change handlers to restart DMA.  These handlers can vm_stop() by
running into a write error on a drive with werror=stop.  This throws
the VM state change handler callback into disarray.  Here's an example
case I observed:

0. The virtual IDE drive goes south.  All future writes return errors.

1. Something encounters a write error, and duly stops the VM with
   vm_stop().

2. vm_stop() calls vm_state_notify(0).

3. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in list vm_change_state_head.
   It contains ide_dma_restart_cb() installed by bmdma_map().  It also
   contains audio_vm_change_state_handler() installed by audio_init().

4. audio_vm_change_state_handler() stops audio stuff.

5. User continues VM with monitor command "c".  This runs vm_start().

6. vm_start() calls vm_state_notify(1).

7. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in vm_change_state_head.

8. ide_dma_restart_cb() happens to come first.  It does its work, runs
   into a write error, and duly stops the VM with vm_stop().

9. vm_stop() runs vm_state_notify(0).

10. vm_state_notify() runs the callbacks in vm_change_state_head.

11. audio_vm_change_state_handler() stops audio stuff.  Which isn't
   running.

12. vm_stop() finishes, ide_dma_restart_cb() finishes, step 7's
   vm_state_notify() resumes running handlers.

13. audio_vm_change_state_handler() starts audio stuff.  Oopsie.

Fix this by moving the actual write from each VM state change handler
into a new bottom half (suggested by Gleb Natapov).
