When trying to support monitor OOB (out-of-band) commands, I found
that the monitor IO thread I did looks just like iothread.  It would
be best if I can use iothread directly.  However it seems that it was
mostly used by "-object iothread" before but not friendly to internal
usages.  This series tries to export essential functions to do it.

Also, I think patch 2 also fixes a bug in iothread_stop().

Please review. Thanks.

  iothread: provide helpers for internal use
  iothread: export iothread_stop()
  iothread: delay the context release to finalize
