block: Convert .bdrv_truncate callback to coroutine_fn
bdrv_truncate() is an operation that can block (even for a quite long time, depending on the PreallocMode) in I/O paths that shouldn't block. Convert it to a coroutine_fn so that we have the infrastructure for drivers to make their .bdrv_co_truncate implementation asynchronous. This change could potentially introduce new race conditions because bdrv_truncate() isn't necessarily executed atomically any more. Whether this is a problem needs to be evaluated for each block driver that supports truncate: * file-posix/win32, gluster, iscsi, nfs, rbd, ssh, sheepdog: The protocol drivers are trivially safe because they don't actually yield yet, so there is no change in behaviour. * copy-on-read, crypto, raw-format: Essentially just filter drivers that pass the request to a child node, no problem. * qcow2: The implementation modifies metadata, so it needs to hold s->lock to be safe with concurrent I/O requests. In order to avoid double locking, this requires pulling the locking out into preallocate_co() and using qcow2_write_caches() instead of bdrv_flush(). * qed: Does a single header update, this is fine without locking.
