bdrv_new() calls bdrv_drained_begin(), which can poll and therefore can't be called while holding the graph lock. One option to make sure that this call is allowed would be marking bdrv_new() GRAPH_UNLOCKED.
However, this is actually an unnecessary restriction because we know that we only just created the BlockDriverState and it isn't even part of the graph yet. We can use bdrv_do_drained_begin_quiesce() instead to avoid the polling, which means that bdrv_new() can now safely be called from callers that hold the graph lock as well as from callers that don't.
