I think we can drop it once it's clear the the API is fine. It can be on
a separate patch after this.

g_autoslist() requires that the type has a cleanup function, but that's
not the case here and I don't think we can add one ('drained' contains a
BlockDriverState, what's the cleanup function? bdrv_subtree_drained_end
or bdrv_unref?)

I think it's fine to call g_slist_free_full() explicitly in this case.
