block/nvme: support nested aio_poll()
QEMU block drivers are supposed to support aio_poll() from I/O
completion callback functions. This means completion processing must be
re-entrant.
The standard approach is to schedule a BH during completion processing
and cancel it at the end of processing. If aio_poll() is invoked by a
callback function then the BH will run. The BH continues the suspended
completion processing.
All of this means that request A's cb() can synchronously wait for
request B to complete. Previously the nvme block driver would hang
because it didn't process completions from nested aio_poll().
