Christoph Hellwig b2e12bc6e3 block: add aio_flush operation
Instead stalling the VCPU while serving a cache flush try to do it
asynchronously.  Use our good old helper thread pool to issue an
asynchronous fdatasync for raw-posix.  Note that while Linux AIO
implements a fdatasync operation it is not useful for us because
it isn't actually implement in asynchronous fashion.
