Stefan Hajnoczi 48ff269272 dataplane: replace internal thread with IOThread
Today virtio-blk dataplane uses a 1:1 device-per-thread model.  Now that
IOThreads have been introduced we can generalize this to N:M devices per
threads.

This patch drops thread code from dataplane in favor of running inside
an IOThread AioContext.

As a bonus we solve the case where a guest keeps submitting I/O requests
while dataplane is trying to stop.  Previously the dataplane thread
would continue to process requests until the request gave it a break.
Now we can shut down in bounded time thanks to
aio_context_acquire/release.
