virtio-blk: schedule virtio_notify_config to run on main context

virtio_notify_config() needs to acquire the global mutex, which isn't
allowed from an iothread, and may lead to a deadlock like this:

 - main thead
  * Has acquired: qemu_global_mutex.
  * Is trying the acquire: iothread AioContext lock via
    AIO_WAIT_WHILE (after aio_poll).

 - iothread
  * Has acquired: AioContext lock.
  * Is trying to acquire: qemu_global_mutex (via
    virtio_notify_config->prepare_mmio_access).

If virtio_blk_resize() is called from an iothread, schedule
virtio_notify_config() to be run in the main context BH.
