block: Pause all jobs during bdrv_reopen_multiple()

When a BlockDriverState is about to be reopened it can trigger certain
operations that need to write to disk. During this process a different
block job can be woken up. If that block job completes and also needs
to call bdrv_reopen() it can happen that it needs to do it on the same
BlockDriverState that is still in the process of being reopened.

This can have fatal consequences, like in this example:

  1) Block job A starts and sleeps after a while.
  2) Block job B starts and tries to reopen node1 (a qcow2 file).
  3) Reopening node1 means flushing and replacing its qcow2 cache.
  4) While the qcow2 cache is being flushed, job A wakes up.
  5) Job A completes and reopens node1, replacing its cache.
  6) Job B resumes, but the cache that was being flushed no longer
     exists.

This patch splits the bdrv_drain_all() call to keep all block jobs
paused during bdrv_reopen_multiple(), so that step 4 can never happen
and the operation is safe.

Note that this scenario can only happen if both bdrv_reopen() calls
are made by block jobs on the same backing chain. Otherwise there's no
chance that the same BlockDriverState appears in both reopen queues.
