Subject: block/loop: fix race between I/O and set_status

From: Ming Lei <[email protected]>

commit ecdd09597a57251323b0de50e3d45e69298c4a83 upstream.

Inside set_status, transfer need to setup again, so we have to drain IO before the transition, otherwise oops may be triggered like the following:
