The following QMP command leads to a crash when iothreads are used:
{ 'execute': 'device_del', 'arguments': {'id': 'data'} }
The backtrace involves the queue restart coroutine where
tgm->throttle_state is a NULL pointer because
throttle_group_unregister_tgm() has already been called:
(gdb) bt full

This coroutine should not execute in the iothread after the throttle
group member has been unregistered!
The root cause is that the device_del code path schedules the restart
coroutine in the iothread while holding the AioContext lock. Therefore
the iothread cannot execute the coroutine until after device_del
releases the lock - by this time it's too late.
This patch adds a reference count to ThrottleGroupMember so we can
synchronously wait for restart coroutines to complete. Once they are
done it is safe to unregister the ThrottleGroupMember.
