An aio_notify() pairs with an aio_notify_accept(). The former should
happen in the main thread or a vCPU thread, and the latter should be
done in the IOThread.
There is one rare case that the main thread or vCPU thread may "steal"
the aio_notify() event just raised by itself, in bdrv_set_aio_context()
[1]. The sequence is like this:
main thread IO Thread
===============================================================
bdrv_drained_begin()
aio_disable_external(ctx)
aio_poll(ctx, true)
ctx->notify_me += 2
...
bdrv_drained_end()
...
aio_notify()
...
bdrv_set_aio_context()
aio_poll(ctx, false)
[1] aio_notify_accept(ctx)
ppoll() /* Hang! */
[1] is problematic. It will clear the ctx->notifier event so that
the blocked ppoll() will not return.
(For the curious, this bug was noticed when booting a number of VMs
simultaneously in RHV. One or two of the VMs will hit this race
condition, making the VIRTIO device unresponsive to I/O commands. When
it hangs, Seabios is busy waiting for a read request to complete (read
MBR), right after initializing the virtio-blk-pci device, using 100%
guest CPU. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1562750
for the original bug analysis.)
aio_notify() only injects an event when ctx->notify_me is set,
correspondingly aio_notify_accept() is only useful when ctx->notify_me
_was_ set. Move the call to it into the "blocking" branch. This will
effectively skip [1] and fix the hang.
Furthermore, blocking aio_poll is only allowed on home thread
(in_aio_context_home_thread), because otherwise two blocking
aio_poll()'s can steal each other's ctx->notifier event and cause
hanging just like described above.

When we call addIOThread, the epollfd created in aio_context_setup,
but not close it in the process of delIOThread, so the epollfd will leak.
Reorder the code in aio_epoll_disable and reuse it.

OOB can enable iothread for parsing even on Windows. We need some tunes
to enable that on Windows otherwise it'll break Windows users. This
patch fixes the breakage on Windows with qemu-system-ppc.exe.

This patch prepares for the removal of unnecessary lockcnt inc/dec pairs.
Extract the dispatching loop for file descriptor handlers into a new
function aio_dispatch_handlers, and then inline aio_dispatch into
aio_poll.
aio_dispatch can now become void.

This covers both file descriptor callbacks and polling callbacks,
since they execute related code.

The AioContext data structures are now protected by list_lock and/or
they are walked with FOREACH_RCU primitives. There is no need anymore
to acquire the AioContext for the entire duration of aio_dispatch.
Instead, just acquire it before and after invoking the callbacks.
The next step is then to push it further down.

AioContext is fairly self contained, the only dependency is QEMUTimer but
that in turn doesn't need anything else. So move them out of block-obj-y
to avoid introducing a dependency from io/ to block-obj-y.
main-loop and its dependency iohandler also need to be moved, because
later in this series io/ will call iohandler_get_aio_context.
