Hanna Czenczek found the root cause for --device
virtio-scsi-pci,iothread= hangs across hotplug/unplug. When AioContext
polling has started on the virtqueue host notifier in the IOThread and
the main loop thread calls aio_set_fd_handler(), then the io_poll_end()
callback is not invoked on the virtqueue host notifier. The virtqueue is
left with polling disabled and never detects guest activity once
attached again (because virtqueue kicks are not enabled and AioContext
only starts polling after the fd becomes active for the first time). The
result is that the virtio-scsi device stops responding to its virtqueue.

Previous patches made aio_set_fd_handler() run in the AioContext's home
thread so it's now possible to call ->io_poll_end() to solve this bug.
