Stefan Hajnoczi eaad0fe260 scsi: only access SCSIDevice->requests from one thread
Stop depending on the AioContext lock and instead access
SCSIDevice->requests from only one thread at a time:
- When the VM is running only the BlockBackend's AioContext may access
  the requests list.
- When the VM is stopped only the main loop may access the requests
  list.

These constraints protect the requests list without the need for locking
in the I/O code path.

Note that multiple IOThreads are not supported yet because the code
assumes all SCSIRequests are executed from a single AioContext. Leave
that as future work.
