aio_context_acquire/release are only going away as soon as the block layer becomes thread-safe, but we can already move away to other finer-grained mutex whenever possible.
These three drivers don't use coroutines, hence a QemuMutex is a fine primitive to use for protecting any per-BDS data in the libraries they use. The QemuMutex must protect any fd handlers or bottom halves, and also the BlockDriver callbacks which were implicitly being called under aio_context_acquire.
