nbd: Use CoQueue for free_sema instead of CoMutex

Browse Source 
NBD is using the CoMutex in a way that wasn't anticipated. For example, if there are
N(N=26, MAX_NBD_REQUESTS=16) nbd write requests, so we will invoke nbd_client_co_pwritev
N times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time request Actions
1    1       in_flight=1, Coroutine=C1
2    2       in_flight=2, Coroutine=C2
...
15   15      in_flight=15, Coroutine=C15
16   16      in_flight=16, Coroutine=C16, free_sema->holder=C16, mutex->locked=true
17   17      in_flight=16, Coroutine=C17, queue C17 into free_sema->queue
18   18      in_flight=16, Coroutine=C18, queue C18 into free_sema->queue
...
26   N       in_flight=16, Coroutine=C26, queue C26 into free_sema->queue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once nbd client recieves request No.16' reply, we will re-enter C16. It's ok, because
it's equal to 'free_sema->holder'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time request Actions
27   16      in_flight=15, Coroutine=C16, free_sema->holder=C16, mutex->locked=false
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then nbd_coroutine_end invokes qemu_co_mutex_unlock what will pop coroutines from
free_sema->queue's head and enter C17. More free_sema->holder is C17 now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time request Actions
28   17      in_flight=16, Coroutine=C17, free_sema->holder=C17, mutex->locked=true
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In above scenario, we only recieves request No.16' reply. As time goes by, nbd client will
almostly recieves replies from requests 1 to 15 rather than request 17 who owns C17. In this
case, we will encounter assert "mutex->holder == self" failed since Kevin's commit 0e438cdc
"coroutine: Let CoMutex remember who holds it". For example, if nbd client recieves request
No.15' reply, qemu will stop unexpectedly:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time request       Actions
29   15(most case) in_flight=15, Coroutine=C15, free_sema->holder=C17, mutex->locked=false
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Per Paolo's suggestion "The simplest fix is to change it to CoQueue, which is like a condition
variable", this patch replaces CoMutex with CoQueue.
