qcow2: Fix open with 'file' in iothread
qcow2_open() doesn't work correctly when opening the 'file' child moves
bs to an iothread, for several reasons:

- It uses BDRV_POLL_WHILE() to wait for the qcow2_open_entry()
  coroutine, which involves dropping the AioContext lock for bs when it
  is not in the main context - but we don't hold it, so this crashes.

- It runs the qcow2_open_entry() coroutine in the current thread instead
  of the new AioContext of bs.

- qcow2_open_entry() doesn't notify the main loop when it's done.

This patches fixes these issues around delegating work to a coroutine.
Temporarily dropping the main AioContext lock is not necessary because
we know we run in the main thread.
