The idea of making this a separate function is probably ok, but that
function has more GL state dependencies than just locking and context
activation, and also invalidates some GL states. Ultimately drawing a
quad is something that should be internal to a blitter implementation.
A shader based blitter for example wouldn't have to invalidate lots of
fixed function state because it simply replaces those parts of the GL
pipeline. A FBO blit based implementation doesn't have to draw a quad
at all. Perhaps this is an acceptable step in that direction, but it's
probably a good idea to think about what the blitter interface should
look like first.

Also, const correctness.
