migration: use bdrv_drain_all_begin/end() instead bdrv_drain_all()
blk/bdrv_drain_all() only takes effect for a single instant and then resumes block jobs, guest devices, and other external clients like the NBD server. This can be handy when performing a synchronous drain before terminating the program, for example. Monitor commands usually need to quiesce I/O across an entire code region so blk/bdrv_drain_all() is not suitable. They must use bdrv_drain_all_begin/end() to mark the region. This prevents new I/O requests from slipping in or worse - block jobs completing and modifying the graph. I audited other blk/bdrv_drain_all() callers but did not find anything that needs a similar fix. This patch fixes the savevm/loadvm commands. Although I haven't encountered a read world issue this makes the code safer.
