Stefan Hajnoczi ca96ac44dc AioContext: force event loop iteration using BH 
The notify_me optimization introduced in commit eabc977973
("AioContext: fix broken ctx->dispatching optimization") skips
event_notifier_set() calls when the event loop thread is not blocked in
ppoll(2).

This optimization causes a deadlock if two aio_context_acquire() calls
race.  notify_me = 0 during the race so the winning thread can enter
ppoll(2) unaware that the other thread is waiting its turn to acquire
the AioContext.

This patch forces ppoll(2) to return by scheduling a BH instead of
calling aio_notify().

The following deadlock with virtio-blk dataplane is fixed:

  qemu ... -object iothread,id=iothread0 \
           -drive if=none,id=drive0,file=test.img,... \
           -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread0,drive=drive0

This command-line results in a hang early on without this patch.

Thanks to Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> for investigating this bug
with me.
