Same rationale as in 31b2ddfea3 ("graph-lock: Unlock the AioContext
while polling"). Otherwise, a deadlock can happen.

The alternative would be to pass a BlockDriverState along to
bdrv_graph_wrlock(), but there is no BlockDriverState readily
available and it's also better conceptually, because the lock is held
for the job.

The function is always called with the job's AioContext lock held, via
one of the .abort, .clean, .free or .prepare job driver functions.
Thus, it's safe to drop it.

While mirror_exit_common() does hold a second AioContext lock while
calling block_job_remove_all_bdrv(), that is for the main thread's
AioContext and does not need to be dropped (bdrv_graph_wrlock(bs) also
skips dropping the lock if bdrv_get_aio_context(bs) ==
qemu_get_aio_context()).
