The explicit aio_poll() call in bdrv_set_aio_context() was added in commit c2b6428d388 as a workaround for bdrv_drain() failing to achieve to actually quiesce everything (specifically the NBD client code to switch AioContext).
Now that the NBD client has been fixed to complete this operation during bdrv_drain(), we don't need the workaround any more. It was wrong anyway: aio_poll() must always be run in the home thread of the AioContext.
