We should never poll anywhere in bdrv_do_drained_end() (including its
recursive callees like bdrv_drain_invoke()), because it does not cope
well with graph changes. In fact, it has been written based on the
postulation that no graph changes will happen in it.
Instead, the callers that want to poll must poll, i.e. all currently
globally available wrappers: bdrv_drained_end(),
bdrv_subtree_drained_end(), bdrv_unapply_subtree_drain(), and
bdrv_drain_all_end(). Graph changes there do not matter.
They can poll simply by passing a pointer to a drained_end_counter and
wait until it reaches 0.
This patch also adds a non-polling global wrapper for
bdrv_do_drained_end() that takes a drained_end_counter pointer. We need
such a variant because now no function called anywhere from
bdrv_do_drained_end() must poll. This includes
BdrvChildRole.drained_end(), which already must not poll according to
its interface documentation, but bdrv_child_cb_drained_end() just
violates that by invoking bdrv_drained_end() (which does poll).
Therefore, BdrvChildRole.drained_end() must take a *drained_end_counter
parameter, which bdrv_child_cb_drained_end() can pass on to the new
bdrv_drained_end_no_poll() function.
Note that we now have a pattern of all drained_end-related functions
either polling or receiving a *drained_end_counter to let the caller
poll based on that.
A problem with a single poll loop is that when the drained section in
bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() ends, some nodes in the subgraph may be in
the old contexts, while others are in the new context already. To let
the collective poll in bdrv_drained_end() work correctly, we must not
hold a lock to the old context, so that the old context can make
progress in case it is different from the current context.
(In the process, remove the comment saying that the current context is
always the old context, because it is wrong.)
In all other places, all nodes in a subtree must be in the same context,
so we can just poll that. The exception of course is
bdrv_drain_all_end(), but that always runs in the main context, so we
can just poll NULL (like bdrv_drain_all_begin() does).
