linux-aio: properly bubble up errors from initialization
laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context(). To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing initialization calls. Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the device is already in-use by the guest. Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.
