So the same could be done in gluster: first decrease qemu_aio_count,
then call the callback, then call qemu_aio_release.

But in either case, wouldn't that leak the AIOCBs until the end of
qcow2_create?

The AIOCB is already invalid at the time the callback is entered, so we
could release it before the call.  However, not all implementation of
AIO are ready for that and I'm not really in the mood for large scale
refactoring...
