Backported from commit bfa36802d1 ("virtio-blk: avoid using ioeventfd
state in irqfd conditional") because the rework/rename dataplane ->
ioeventfd didn't happen yet.

Reported in the community forum [0] and reproduced doing a backup loop
to PBS with suspend mode with fio doing heavy IO in the guest and
using an RBD storage (with krbd).

+Subject: [PATCH] virtio-blk: avoid using ioeventfd state in irqfd conditional
+
+Requests that complete in an IOThread use irqfd to notify the guest
+while requests that complete in the main loop thread use the traditional
+qdev irq code path. The reason for this conditional is that the irq code
+path requires the BQL:
+
+  if (s->ioeventfd_started && !s->ioeventfd_disabled) {
+      virtio_notify_irqfd(vdev, req->vq);
+  } else {
+      virtio_notify(vdev, req->vq);
+  }
+
+There is a corner case where the conditional invokes the irq code path
+instead of the irqfd code path:
+
+  static void virtio_blk_stop_ioeventfd(VirtIODevice *vdev)
+  {
+      ...
+      /*
+       * Set ->ioeventfd_started to false before draining so that host notifiers
+       * are not detached/attached anymore.
+       */
+      s->ioeventfd_started = false;
+
+      /* Wait for virtio_blk_dma_restart_bh() and in flight I/O to complete */
+      blk_drain(s->conf.conf.blk);
+
+During blk_drain() the conditional produces the wrong result because
+ioeventfd_started is false.
+
+Use qemu_in_iothread() instead of checking the ioeventfd state.
