do_drive_backup() acquires the AioContext lock of the corresponding
BlockDriverState. This is not a problem when it's called from
qmp_drive_backup(), but drive_backup_prepare() also acquires the lock
before calling it. The same things happens with do_blockdev_backup()
and blockdev_backup_prepare().

This patch series merges do_drive_backup() with drive_backup_prepare()
and do_blockdev_backup() with blockdev_backup_prepare(), and ensures
they're only getting called from a transaction context. This way,
there's a single code path for both transaction requests and qmp
commands, as suggested by Kevin Wolf.

We also take this opportunity to ensure we're honoring the context
acquisition semantics required by bdrv_try_set_aio_context, as
suggested by Max Reitz.

Changelog:

v5:
 - Include fix for iotest 141 in patch 2. (thanks Max Reitz)
 - Also fix iotest 185 and 219 in patch 2. (thanks Max Reitz)
 - Move error block after context acquisition/release, to we can use
   goto to bail out and release resources. (thanks Max Reitz)
 - Properly release old_context in qmp_blockdev_mirror. (thanks Max
   Reitz)

v4:
 - Unify patches 1-4 and 5-7 to avoid producing broken interim
   states. (thanks Max Reitz)
 - Include a fix for iotest 141. (thanks Kevin Wolf)

v3:
 - Rework the whole patch series to fix the issue by consolidating all
   operations in the transaction model. (thanks Kevin Wolf)

v2:
 - Honor bdrv_try_set_aio_context() context acquisition requirements
   (thanks Max Reitz).
 - Release the context at drive_backup_prepare() instead of avoiding
   re-acquiring it at do_drive_baclup(). (thanks Max Reitz)
 - Convert a single patch into a two-patch series.

I think there is a small problem with the error paths in patch 4, but
for patches 1 to 3 you can add:
