The virtio-scsi Host Bus Adapter provides access to devices on a SCSI
bus. Those SCSI devices typically have a BlockBackend. When the
BlockBackend enters a drained section, the SCSI device must temporarily
stop submitting new I/O requests.
Implement this behavior by temporarily stopping virtio-scsi virtqueue
processing when one of the SCSI devices enters a drained section. The
new scsi_device_drained_begin() API allows scsi-disk to message the
virtio-scsi HBA.
scsi_device_drained_begin() uses a drain counter so that multiple SCSI
devices can have overlapping drained sections. The HBA only sees one
pair of .drained_begin/end() calls.
After this commit, virtio-scsi no longer depends on hw/virtio's
ioeventfd aio_set_event_notifier(is_external=true). This commit is a
step towards removing the aio_disable_external() API.
