bdrv_swap() touches the fields of a BlockDriverState that are
protected by the ThrottleGroup lock. Although those fields end up in
their original place, they are temporarily swapped in the process,
so there's a chance that an operation on a member of the same group
happening on a different thread can try to use them.

The throttle group support use a cooperative round robin scheduling
algorithm.
The principles of the algorithm are simple:
- Each BDS of the group is used as a token in a circular way.
- The active BDS computes if a wait must be done and arms the right
timer.
- If a wait must be done the token timer will be armed so the token
will become the next active BDS.
