Hi,

The major change from the last version is that this time I'm moving
all of the callers of bdrv_get_allocated_file_size() into
coroutines. I had to make some temporary changes to avoid asserts
while not all the callers were converted.

I tried my best to explain why I think the changes are safe. To avoid
changing too much of the code I added a change that removes the
dependency of qmp_query_block from hmp_nbd_server_start, that way I
don't need to move all of the nbd code into a coroutine as well.

Based on:
 [PATCH v2 00/11] block: Re-enable the graph lock
 https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230605085711.21261-1-kwolf@redhat.com

changes:

  - fixed duplicated commit message [Lin]
  - clarified why we need to convert info-block [Claudio]
  - added my rationale of why the changes are safe [Eric]
  - converted all callers to coroutines [Kevin]
  - made hmp_nbd_server_start don't depend on qmp_query_block

As discussed in another thread [1], here's an RFC addressing a VCPU
softlockup encountered when issuing QMP commands that target a disk
placed on NFS.

Since QMP commands happen with the qemu_global_mutex locked, any
command that takes too long to finish will block other threads waiting
to take the global mutex. One such thread could be a VCPU thread going
out of the guest to handle IO.

This is the case when issuing the QMP command query-block, which
eventually calls raw_co_get_allocated_file_size(). This function makes
an 'fstat' call that has been observed to take a long time (seconds)
over NFS.

NFS latency issues aside, we can improve the situation by not blocking
VCPU threads while the command is running.

Move the 'fstat' call into the thread-pool and make the necessary
adaptations to ensure raw_co_get_allocated_file_size runs in a
coroutine in the block driver aio_context.
