The dataplane code is currently doing a hard exit if it fails to set
up either guest or host notifiers. In practice, this may mean that a
guest suddenly dies after a dataplane device failed to come up (e.g.,
when a file descriptor limit is hit for tne nth device).
Let's just try to unwind the setup instead and return.

The memory allocation between hw/block/virtio-blk.c,

messy. Structs are allocated in different files than they are freed in.
This is risky and makes memory leaks easier.

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:

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.

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.
