BH will be used outside big lock, so introduce lock to protect
between the writers, ie, bh's adders and deleter. The lock only
affects the writers and bh's callback does not take this extra lock.
Note that for the same AioContext, aio_bh_poll() can not run in
parallel yet.

Please use exactly three dashes so that 'git am' recognises it as the
end of the commit message.

This doesn't compile yet because smp_read_barrier_depends() isn't merged
yet, so maybe there's still time for some nitpicking: Wouldn't using
atomic_set/get better document things and make them easier to read?

It should be correct anyway, so:

Good idea.

But it'll be a while before I merge the atomics patch, so it's perhaps
better to get it in via the block branch (same as TLS).

Sorry, I will notice at the next time.  Should I re-post it?

Hi Ping Fan,
I'm revisiting this patch but already sent the block pull request for
this week.  Therefore I suggest you repost - that will make it easier
for Kevin to find the patch on the list next week when he's merging
patches.

In the meanwhile, I've sent a pull request for the atomics header that
this patch depends on.
