[PULL,1/4] blockjob: do not allow coroutine double entry or entry-after-completion

Commit Message

When block_job_sleep_ns() is called, the co-routine is scheduled for
future execution.  If we allow the job to be re-entered prior to the
scheduled time, we present a race condition in which a coroutine can be
entered recursively, or even entered after the coroutine is deleted.

The job->busy flag is used by blockjobs when a coroutine is busy
executing. The function 'block_job_enter()' obeys the busy flag,
and will not enter a coroutine if set.  If we sleep a job, we need to
leave the busy flag set, so that subsequent calls to block_job_enter()
are prevented.

This changes the prior behavior of block_job_cancel() being able to
immediately wake up and cancel a job; in practice, this should not be an
issue, as the coroutine sleep times are generally very small, and the
cancel will occur the next time the coroutine wakes up.

This fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508708
