  1. block: add blk_io_plug_call() API 

    Introduce a new API for thread-local blk_io_plug() that does not
traverse the block graph. The goal is to make blk_io_plug() multi-queue
friendly.

Instead of having block drivers track whether or not we're in a plugged
section, provide an API that allows them to defer a function call until
we're unplugged: blk_io_plug_call(fn, opaque). If blk_io_plug_call() is
called multiple times with the same fn/opaque pair, then fn() is only
called once at the end of the function - resulting in batching.

This patch introduces the API and changes blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug().
blk_io_plug()/blk_io_unplug() no longer require a BlockBackend argument
because the plug state is now thread-local.

Later patches convert block drivers to blk_io_plug_call() and then we
can finally remove .bdrv_co_io_plug() once all block drivers have been
converted.

  2. block/nvme: convert to blk_io_plug_call() API 

    Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue
block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O
submission instead.

  5. block/linux-aio: convert to blk_io_plug_call() API 

    Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue
block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O
submission instead.

Note that a dev_max_batch check is dropped in laio_io_unplug() because
the semantics of unplug_fn() are different from .bdrv_co_unplug():
1. unplug_fn() is only called when the last blk_io_unplug() call occurs,
   not every time blk_io_unplug() is called.
2. unplug_fn() is per-thread, not per-BlockDriverState, so there is no
   way to get per-BlockDriverState fields like dev_max_batch.

Therefore this condition cannot be moved to laio_unplug_fn(). It is not
obvious that this condition affects performance in practice, so I am
removing it instead of trying to come up with a more complex mechanism
to preserve the condition.

  6. block: remove bdrv_co_io_plug() API 

    No block driver implements .bdrv_co_io_plug() anymore. Get rid of the
function pointers.

  7. block/blkio: use qemu_open() to support fd passing for virtio-blk 

    Some virtio-blk drivers (e.g. virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa) supports the fd
passing. Let's expose this to the user, so the management layer
can pass the file descriptor of an already opened path.

If the libblkio virtio-blk driver supports fd passing, let's always
use qemu_open() to open the `path`, so we can handle fd passing
from the management layer through the "/dev/fdset/N" special path.

  8. qapi: add '@fdset' feature for BlockdevOptionsVirtioBlkVhostVdpa 

    The virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver in libblkio 1.3.0 supports the fd
passing through the new 'fd' property.

Since now we are using qemu_open() on '@path' if the virtio-blk driver
supports the fd passing, let's announce it.
In this way, the management layer can pass the file descriptor of an
already opened vhost-vdpa character device. This is useful especially
when the device can only be accessed with certain privileges.

Add the '@fdset' feature only when the virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa driver
in libblkio supports it.
