preallocate: Don't poll during permission updates
When the permission related BlockDriver callbacks are called, we are in the middle of an operation traversing the block graph. Polling in such a place is a very bad idea because the graph could change in unexpected ways. In the future, callers will also hold the graph lock, which is likely to turn polling into a deadlock. So we need to get rid of calls to functions like bdrv_getlength() or bdrv_truncate() there as these functions poll internally. They are currently used so that when no parent has write/resize permissions on the image any more, the preallocate filter drops the extra preallocated area in the image file and gives up write/resize permissions itself. In order to achieve this without polling in .bdrv_check_perm, don't immediately truncate the image, but only schedule a BH to do so. The filter keeps the write/resize permissions a bit longer now until the BH has executed. There is one case in which delaying doesn't work: Reopening the image read-only. In this case, bs->file will likely be reopened read-only, too, so keeping write permissions a bit longer on it doesn't work. But we can already cover this case in preallocate_reopen_prepare() and not rely on the permission updates for it.
