[PATCH 2/2] block: bdrv_reopen() with backing file in different AioContext

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

This patch allows bdrv_reopen() (and therefore the x-blockdev-reopen QMP
command) to attach a node as the new backing file even if the node is in
a different AioContext than the parent if one of both nodes can be moved
to the AioContext of the other node.
