Stefan Hajnoczi 23c983c8f6 block: remove outdated AioContext locking comments
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.
