Subject: [PATCH] migration: for snapshots, hold the BQL during setup callbacks

In spirit, this is a partial revert of commit 9b09503752 ("migration:
run setup callbacks out of big lock"), but only for the snapshot case.

For snapshots, the bdrv_writev_vmstate() function is used during setup
(in QIOChannelBlock backing the QEMUFile), but not holding the BQL
while calling it could lead to an assertion failure. To understand
how, first note the following:

1. Generated coroutine wrappers for block layer functions spawn the
coroutine and use AIO_WAIT_WHILE()/aio_poll() to wait for it.
2. If the host OS switches threads at an inconvenient time, it can
happen that a bottom half scheduled for the main thread's AioContext
is executed as part of a vCPU thread's aio_poll().

An example leading to the assertion failure is as follows:

main thread:
1. A snapshot-save QMP command gets issued.
2. snapshot_save_job_bh() is scheduled.

vCPU thread:
3. aio_poll() for the main thread's AioContext is called (e.g. when
the guest writes to a pflash device, as part of blk_pwrite which is a
generated coroutine wrapper).
4. snapshot_save_job_bh() is executed as part of aio_poll().
3. qemu_savevm_state() is called.
4. qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread() is called. Now
qemu_get_current_aio_context() returns 0x0.
5. bdrv_writev_vmstate() is executed during the usual savevm setup.
But this function is a generated coroutine wrapper, so it uses
AIO_WAIT_WHILE. There, the assertion
assert(qemu_get_current_aio_context() == qemu_get_aio_context());
will fail.

To fix it, ensure that the BQL is held during setup. To avoid changing
the behavior for migration too, introduce conditionals for the setup
callbacks that need the BQL and only take the lock if it's not already
held.
