block coroutines functions run in different aiocontext, and are
not protected by the BQL. Therefore are I/O.

Please keep an empty line between #include and the rest.

As discussed in patch 2, this file will need some rearrangement.
Generally, the coroutine_fn is indeed I/O, but the generated_co_wrapper
is mixed "I/O or GS" and requires the BQL or a specific iothread.
