block: Forbid bdrv_set_aio_context outside BQL

Even if the caller has both the old and the new AioContext's, there can
be a deadlock, due to the leading bdrv_drain_all.

Suppose there are four io threads (A, B, A0, B0) with A and B owning a
BDS for each (bs_a, bs_b); Now A wants to move bs_a to iothread A0, and
B wants to move bs_b to B0, at the same time:

  iothread A                           iothread B
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  aio_context_acquire(A0) /* OK */     aio_context_acquire(B0) /* OK */
  bdrv_set_aio_context(bs_a, A0)       bdrv_set_aio_context(bs_b, B0)
  -> bdrv_drain_all()                  -> bdrv_drain_all()
     -> acquire A /* OK */               -> acquire A /* blocked */
     -> acquire B /* blocked */          -> acquire B
     ...                                 ...

Deadlock happens because A is waiting for B, and B is waiting for A.
