virtio_notify_config() needs to acquire the global mutex, which isn't
allowed from an iothread, and may lead to a deadlock like this:
- main thead
* Has acquired: qemu_global_mutex.
* Is trying the acquire: iothread AioContext lock via
AIO_WAIT_WHILE (after aio_poll).
- iothread
* Has acquired: AioContext lock.
* Is trying to acquire: qemu_global_mutex (via
virtio_notify_config->prepare_mmio_access).
If virtio_blk_resize() is called from an iothread, schedule
virtio_notify_config() to be run in the main context BH.

Changelog
v3:
- Unconditionally schedule the work to be done in the main context BH
(thanks John Snow and Kevin Wolf).
v2:
- Use aio_bh_schedule_oneshot instead of scheduling a coroutine
(thanks Kevin Wolf).
- Switch from RFC to v2 patch.
