Since 80ccf93b we flush the block device during close. The bdrv_drain_all() call should come before bdrv_flush() to ensure guest write requests have completed. Otherwise we may miss pending writes when flushing.
However, there is still a slight change that cancelling a blockjob or doing bdrv_flush() might leave an I/O request running, so call bdrv_drain_all() again for safety as the final step.
