The AioContext lock no longer exists.
There is one noteworthy change:
- * More specifically, these functions use BDRV_POLL_WHILE(bs), which
- * requires the caller to be either in the main thread and hold
- * the BlockdriverState (bs) AioContext lock, or directly in the
- * home thread that runs the bs AioContext. Calling them from
- * another thread in another AioContext would cause deadlocks.

I am not sure whether deadlocks are still possible. Maybe they have just
moved to the fine-grained locks that have replaced the AioContext. Since
I am not sure if the deadlocks are gone, I have kept the substance
unchanged and just removed mention of the AioContext.
