BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE prevents BlockDriverState from being used by
virtio-blk/virtio-scsi with IOThread. Commit b112a65c52 ("block:
declare blockjobs and dataplane friends!") eliminated the main reason
for this blocker in 2014.
Nowadays the block layer supports I/O from multiple AioContexts, so
there is even less reason to block IOThread users. Any legitimate
reasons related to interference would probably also apply to
non-IOThread users.
The only remaining users are bdrv_op_unblock(BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE)
calls after bdrv_op_block_all(). If we remove BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE
their behavior doesn't change.
Existing bdrv_op_block_all() callers that don't explicitly unblock
BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE seem to do so simply because no one bothered to
rather than because it is necessary to keep BLOCK_OP_TYPE_DATAPLANE
blocked.
