thread-pool: add missing qemu_bh_cancel in completion function
commit 3c80ca15 fixed a deadlock scenarion with nested aio_poll invocations. However, the rescheduling of the completion BH introcuded unnecessary spinning in the main-loop. On very fast file backends this can even lead to the "WARNING: I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations" message popping up. Callgrind reports about 3-4% less instructions with this patch running qemu-img bench on a ramdisk based VMDK file. Fixes: 3c80ca158c96ff902a30883a8933e755988948b1 Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org Signed-off-by: Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
