Stefan Hajnoczi f816310d0c nbd/server: only traverse NBDExport->clients from main loop thread
The NBD clients list is currently accessed from both the export
AioContext and the main loop thread. When the AioContext lock is removed
there will be nothing protecting the clients list.

Adding a lock around the clients list is tricky because NBDClient
structs are refcounted and may be freed from the export AioContext or
the main loop thread. nbd_export_request_shutdown() -> client_close() ->
nbd_client_put() is also tricky because the list lock would be held
while indirectly dropping references to NDBClients.

A simpler approach is to only allow nbd_client_put() and client_close()
calls from the main loop thread. Then the NBD clients list is only
accessed from the main loop thread and no fancy locking is needed.

nbd_trip() just needs to reschedule itself in the main loop AioContext
before calling nbd_client_put() and client_close(). This costs more CPU
cycles per NBD request so add nbd_client_put_nonzero() to optimize the
common case where more references to NBDClient remain.

Note that nbd_client_get() can still be called from either thread, so
make NBDClient->refcount atomic.
