throttle-groups: fix restart coroutine iothread race

The following QMP command leads to a crash when iothreads are used:

  { 'execute': 'device_del', 'arguments': {'id': 'data'} }

The backtrace involves the queue restart coroutine where
tgm->throttle_state is a NULL pointer because
throttle_group_unregister_tgm() has already been called:

  (gdb) bt full
  #0  0x00005585a7a3b378 in qemu_mutex_lock_impl (mutex=0xffffffffffffffd0, file=0x5585a7bb3d54 "block/throttle-groups.c", line=412) at util/qemu-thread-posix.c:64
        err = <optimized out>
        __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "qemu_mutex_lock_impl"
        __func__ = "qemu_mutex_lock_impl"
  #1  0x00005585a79be074 in throttle_group_restart_queue_entry (opaque=0x5585a9de4eb0) at block/throttle-groups.c:412
        _f = <optimized out>
        data = 0x5585a9de4eb0
        tgm = 0x5585a9079440
        ts = 0x0
        tg = 0xffffffffffffff98
        is_write = false
        empty_queue = 255

This coroutine should not execute in the iothread after the throttle
group member has been unregistered!

The root cause is that the device_del code path schedules the restart
coroutine in the iothread while holding the AioContext lock.  Therefore
the iothread cannot execute the coroutine until after device_del
releases the lock - by this time it's too late.

This patch adds a reference count to ThrottleGroupMember so we can
synchronously wait for restart coroutines to complete.  Once they are
done it is safe to unregister the ThrottleGroupMember.
