This series started with the last patch, an iotest that tests the fixes for .bdrv_co_create() that were made in commit b2ab5f545f ('block: bdrv/blk_co_unref() for calls in coroutine context').
Unfortunately, it turned out that much more is wrong about creating images in an iothread. In particular, AioContext locking is messy and in many cases wrong. (Only one more reason to get rid of them.) This series fixes all the hangs and crashes I saw while making the final test case pass. Note that this series isn't fully bisectable. Some of the existing bugs cancel each other out, so after fixing one, some test cases will break until the other one is fixed, too.
