[PULL 6/7] io: Document qmp oob suitability of qio_channel_shutdown and io_shutdown

[Markus Armbruster]

From: Lukas Straub <lukasstraub2@web.de>

Migration and yank code assume that qio_channel_shutdown is thread
-safe and can be called from qmp oob handler. Document this after
checking the code.
