bdrv_truncate() is an operation that can block (even for a quite long
time, depending on the PreallocMode) in I/O paths that shouldn't block.
Convert it to a coroutine_fn so that we have the infrastructure for
drivers to make their .bdrv_co_truncate implementation asynchronous.
This change could potentially introduce new race conditions because
bdrv_truncate() isn't necessarily executed atomically any more. Whether
this is a problem needs to be evaluated for each block driver that
supports truncate:
* file-posix/win32, gluster, iscsi, nfs, rbd, ssh, sheepdog: The
protocol drivers are trivially safe because they don't actually yield
yet, so there is no change in behaviour.
* copy-on-read, crypto, raw-format: Essentially just filter drivers that
pass the request to a child node, no problem.
* qcow2: The implementation modifies metadata, so it needs to hold
s->lock to be safe with concurrent I/O requests. In order to avoid
double locking, this requires pulling the locking out into
preallocate_co() and using qcow2_write_caches() instead of
bdrv_flush().
* qed: Does a single header update, this is fine without locking.
