Protect bdrv_replace_child_noperm, as it modifies the
graph by adding/removing elements to .children and .parents
list of a bs. Use the newly introduced
bdrv_subtree_drained_{begin/end}_unlocked drains to achieve
that and be free from the aiocontext lock.

One important criteria to keep in mind is that if the caller of
bdrv_replace_child_noperm creates a transaction, we need to make sure that the
whole transaction is under the same drain block. This is imperative, as having
multiple drains also in the .abort() class of functions causes discrepancies
in the drained counters (as nodes are put back into the original positions),
making it really hard to retourn all to zero and leaving the code very buggy.
See https://patchew.org/QEMU/20211213104014.69858-1-eespo...@redhat.com/
for more explanations.

Unfortunately we still need to have bdrv_subtree_drained_begin/end
in bdrv_detach_child() releasing and then holding the AioContext
lock, since it later invokes bdrv_try_set_aio_context() that is
not safe yet. Once all is cleaned up, we can also remove the
acquire/release locks in job_unref, artificially added because of this.

As we started to discuss in a thread started with my "[PATCH] block: 
bdrv_set_backing_hd(): use drained section", I think draining the whole subtree when 
we modify some parent-child relation is too much. In-flight requests in subtree don't 
touch these relations, so why to wait/stop them? Imagine two disks A and B with same 
backing file C. If we want to detach A from C, what is the reason to drain in-fligth read 
request of B in C?

Modifying children/parents lists should be protected somehow. Currently it's 
protected by aio-context lock.. If we drop it, we probably need some new mutex 
for it. Also, graph modification should be protected from each other, so that 
one graph modifiction is not started until another is in-flight, probably we 
need some global mutex for graph modification. But that's all not about drains.

Drains are about in-flight requests. And when we switch a child of node X, we 
should do it in drained section for X, as in-flight requests in X can touch its 
children. But another in-flight requests in subtree are safe and should not be 
awaited.
