graph-lock: Introduce a lock to protect block graph operations
Block layer graph operations are always run under BQL in the main loop.
This is proved by the assertion qemu_in_main_thread() and its wrapper
macro GLOBAL_STATE_CODE.
However, there are also concurrent coroutines running in other iothreads
that always try to traverse the graph. Currently this is protected
(among various other things) by the AioContext lock, but once this is
removed, we need to make sure that reads do not happen while modifying
the graph.
We distinguish between writer (main loop, under BQL) that modifies the
graph, and readers (all other coroutines running in various AioContext),
that go through the graph edges, reading ->parents and->children.
The writer (main loop) has "exclusive" access, so it first waits for any
current read to finish, and then prevents incoming ones from entering
while it has the exclusive access.
The readers (coroutines in multiple AioContext) are free to access the
graph as long the writer is not modifying the graph. In case it is, they
go in a CoQueue and sleep until the writer is done.
If a coroutine changes AioContext, the counter in the original and new
AioContext are left intact, since the writer does not care where the
reader is, but only if there is one.
As a result, some AioContexts might have a negative reader count, to
balance the positive count of the AioContext that took the lock. This
also means that when an AioContext is deleted it may have a nonzero
reader count. In that case we transfer the count to a global shared
counter so that the writer is always aware of all readers.

block: block-status cache for data regions
As we have attempted before
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg06451.html,
"file-posix: Cache lseek result for data regions";
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-block/2021-02/msg00934.html,
"file-posix: Cache next hole"), this patch seeks to reduce the number of
SEEK_DATA/HOLE operations the file-posix driver has to perform. The
main difference is that this time it is implemented as part of the
general block layer code.
The problem we face is that on some filesystems or in some
circumstances, SEEK_DATA/HOLE is unreasonably slow. Given the
implementation is outside of qemu, there is little we can do about its
performance.
We have already introduced the want_zero parameter to
bdrv_co_block_status() to reduce the number of SEEK_DATA/HOLE calls
unless we really want zero information; but sometimes we do want that
information, because for files that consist largely of zero areas,
special-casing those areas can give large performance boosts. So the
real problem is with files that consist largely of data, so that
inquiring the block status does not gain us much performance, but where
such an inquiry itself takes a lot of time.
To address this, we want to cache data regions. Most of the time, when
bad performance is reported, it is in places where the image is iterated
over from start to end (qemu-img convert or the mirror job), so a simple
yet effective solution is to cache only the current data region.
(Note that only caching data regions but not zero regions means that
returning false information from the cache is not catastrophic: Treating
zeroes as data is fine. While we try to invalidate the cache on zero
writes and discards, such incongruences may still occur when there are
other processes writing to the image.)
We only use the cache for nodes without children (i.e. protocol nodes),
because that is where the problem is: Drivers that rely on block-status
implementations outside of qemu (e.g. SEEK_DATA/HOLE).
