Same as the patch before, dataplane is okay because AioContexts are
switched together with the source image.

On second thought, however, maybe both places should set a blocker that
prevents attaching intermediate nodes to a new block device because you
can't read consistent data there. That's a preexisting problem, though,
and needs its own patch.
