The memory allocation between hw/block/virtio-blk.c,
hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c, and hw/virtio/dataplane/vring.c is
messy. Structs are allocated in different files than they are freed in.
This is risky and makes memory leaks easier.
Embed VirtQueueElement in VirtIOBlockReq to reduce the amount of memory
allocation we need to juggle. This also makes vring.c and virtio.c
slightly more similar.

Before commit 580b6b2aa2(dataplane: use the QEMU block
layer for I/O), dataplane for virtio-blk submits block
I/O as a batch.
This commit 580b6b2aa2 replaces the custom linux AIO
implementation(including submit I/O as a batch) with QEMU
block layer, but this commit causes ~40% throughput regression
on virtio-blk performance, and removing submitting I/O
as a batch is one of the causes.
This patch applies the newly introduced bdrv_io_plug() and
bdrv_io_unplug() interfaces to support submitting I/O
at batch for Qemu block layer, and in my test, the change
can improve throughput by ~30% with 'aio=native'.
Following my fio test script:

iocb, which we don't need directly anymore.

This drops BlockDriverState.in_use with op_blockers:
- Call bdrv_op_block_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 1).
- Call bdrv_op_unblock_all in place of bdrv_set_in_use(bs, 0).
- Check bdrv_op_is_blocked() in place of bdrv_in_use(bs).
The specific types are used, e.g. in place of starting block backup,
bdrv_op_is_blocked(bs, BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP, ...).
There is one exception in block_job_create, where
bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() is used, because we don't know the operation
type here. This doesn't matter because in a few commits away we will drop
the check and move it to callers that _do_ know the type.
- Check bdrv_op_blocker_is_empty() in place of assert(!bs->in_use).
Note: there is only bdrv_op_block_all and bdrv_op_unblock_all callers at
this moment. So although the checks are specific to op types, this
changes can still be seen as identical logic with previously with
in_use. The difference is error message are improved because of blocker
error info.

Before IOThread was its own object, each virtio-blk device would create
its own internal thread. We need to preserve this behavior for
backwards compatibility when users do not specify -device
virtio-blk-pci,iothread=<id>.
This patch changes how the internal IOThread object is created.
Previously we used the monitor object_add() function, which is really a
layering violation. The problem is that this needs to assign a name but
we don't have a name for this internal object.
Generating names for internal objects is a pain but even worse is that
they may collide with user-defined names.
Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> suggested that the internal IOThread
object should not be named. This way the conflict cannot happen and we
no longer need object_add().
One gotcha is that internal IOThread objects will not be listed by the
query-iothreads command since they are not named. This is okay though
because query-iothreads is new and the internal IOThread is just for
backwards compatibility. New users should explicitly define IOThread
objects.

Today virtio-blk dataplane uses a 1:1 device-per-thread model. Now that
IOThreads have been introduced we can generalize this to N:M devices per
threads.
This patch drops thread code from dataplane in favor of running inside
an IOThread AioContext.
As a bonus we solve the case where a guest keeps submitting I/O requests
while dataplane is trying to stop. Previously the dataplane thread
would continue to process requests until the request gave it a break.
Now we can shut down in bounded time thanks to
aio_context_acquire/release.

Dataplane must check whether a block device is in use before launching
the dataplane thread. This is necessary since the thread does not
synchronize with the main loop and I/O requests could cause corruption.
One example is when a drive is added and a block job is started before
hotplugging the virtio-blk-pci adapter. In this case we must not use
dataplane mode.
