block: Avoid stale pointer dereference in blk_get_aio_context()

Browse source 
It is possible for blk_remove_bs() to race with blk_drain_all(), causing
the latter to dereference a stale blk->root pointer:

  blk_remove_bs(blk)
   bdrv_root_unref_child(blk->root)
    child_bs = blk->root->bs
    bdrv_detach_child(blk->root)
     ...
     g_free(blk->root) <============== blk->root becomes stale
    bdrv_unref(child_bs) <============ yield at some point

A blk_drain_all() can be triggered by some guest action in the
meantime, eg. on POWER, SLOF might disable bus mastering on
a virtio-scsi-pci device:

  virtio_write_config()
   virtio_pci_stop_ioeventfd()
    virtio_bus_stop_ioeventfd()
     virtio_scsi_dataplane_stop()
      blk_drain_all()
       blk_get_aio_context()
       bs = blk->root ? blk->root->bs : NULL
            ^^^^^^^^^
              stale

Then, depending on one's luck, QEMU either crashes with SEGV or
hits the assertion in blk_get_aio_context().

blk->root is set by blk_insert_bs() which calls bdrv_root_attach_child()
first. The blk_remove_bs() function should rollback the changes made
by blk_insert_bs() in the opposite order (or it should be documented
somewhere why this isn't the case). Clear blk->root before calling
bdrv_root_unref_child() in blk_remove_bs().
