This series contains three fixes for deadlocks that follow the same
pattern: A nested event loop in the main thread waits for an iothread to
make progress, but the AioContext lock of that iothread is still held by
the main loop, so it can never make progress.

We're planning to fully remove the AioContext lock in 9.0, which would
automatically get rid of this kind of bugs, but it's still there in 8.2,
so let's fix them individually for this release.

Kevin Wolf (4):
  block: Fix bdrv_graph_wrlock() call in blk_remove_bs()
  block: Fix deadlocks in bdrv_graph_wrunlock()
  stream: Fix AioContext locking during bdrv_graph_wrlock()
  iotests: Test two stream jobs in a single iothread
