Revert "iothread: release iothread around aio_poll"

This reverts commit a0710f7995.

In qemu-devel email message <556DBF87.2020908@de.ibm.com>, Christian
Borntraeger writes:

  Having many guests all with a kernel/ramdisk (via -kernel) and
  several null block devices will result in hangs. All hanging
  guests are in partition detection code waiting for an I/O to return
  so very early maybe even the first I/O.

  Reverting that commit "fixes" the hangs.

Reverting this commit for the 2.4 release.  More time is needed to
investigate and correct this patch.
