This patch is part of an effort to remove the aio_disable_external()
API because it does not fit in a multi-queue block layer world where
many AioContexts may be submitting requests to the same disk.
The SCSI emulation code is already in good shape to stop using
aio_disable_external(). It was only used by commit 9c5aad84da
("virtio-scsi: fixed virtio_scsi_ctx_check failed when detaching scsi
disk") to ensure that virtio_scsi_hotunplug() works while the guest
driver is submitting I/O.
Ensure virtio_scsi_hotunplug() is safe as follows:
1. qdev_simple_device_unplug_cb() -> qdev_unrealize() ->
device_set_realized() calls qatomic_set(&dev->realized, false) so
that future scsi_device_get() calls return NULL because they exclude
SCSIDevices with realized=false.
That means virtio-scsi will reject new I/O requests to this
SCSIDevice with VIRTIO_SCSI_S_BAD_TARGET even while
virtio_scsi_hotunplug() is still executing. We are protected against
new requests!
2. scsi_qdev_unrealize() already contains a call to
scsi_device_purge_requests() so that in-flight requests are cancelled
synchronously. This ensures that no in-flight requests remain once
qdev_simple_device_unplug_cb() returns.
Thanks to these two conditions we don't need aio_disable_external()
anymore.
