The aio_co_reschedule_self() API is designed to avoid the race
condition between scheduling the coroutine in another AioContext and
yielding.
The QMP dispatch code uses the open-coded version that appears
susceptible to the race condition at first glance:
aio_co_schedule(qemu_get_aio_context(), qemu_coroutine_self());
qemu_coroutine_yield();
The code is actually safe because the iohandler and qemu_aio_context
AioContext run under the Big QEMU Lock. Nevertheless, set a good example
and use aio_co_reschedule_self() so it's obvious that there is no race.
