Peter Lieven b7a745dc33 thread-pool: add missing qemu_bh_cancel in completion function
commit 3c80ca15 fixed a deadlock scenarion with nested aio_poll invocations.

However, the rescheduling of the completion BH introcuded unnecessary spinning
in the main-loop. On very fast file backends this can even lead to the
"WARNING: I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations" message popping up.

Callgrind reports about 3-4% less instructions with this patch running
qemu-img bench on a ramdisk based VMDK file.

Paolo Bonzini c2b38b277a block: move AioContext, QEMUTimer, main-loop to libqemuutil
AioContext is fairly self contained, the only dependency is QEMUTimer but
that in turn doesn't need anything else.  So move them out of block-obj-y
to avoid introducing a dependency from io/ to block-obj-y.

main-loop and its dependency iohandler also need to be moved, because
later in this series io/ will call iohandler_get_aio_context.

[Changed copyright "the QEMU team" to "other QEMU contributors" as
suggested by Daniel Berrange and agreed by Paolo.
