I have trapped Odahviing in Dragonsreach, and it seems that I must free him so that I can ride him to the next dungeon.
The problem is, every time I free him, everyone else in the room starts attacking him. Since the Jarl (who is invincible) is in the room, and the dragon itself is invincible, this enters a neverending cycle of one of the two of them dying, crouching for a moment to recover, and resuming battle. I can't talk to Odahviing while he is fighting.
What am I supposed to do?

I couldn't wait in the room with Odahviing because of "nearby enemies", so in my attempt to make the Jarl leave, I went to another zone, waited there, and returned. Afterwards, I was able to wait in the room with Odahviing. This also resulted in not everyone immediately attacking him once he was free, which solved my problem.
I think it must have been a glitch that never cleared Odahviing as an enemy when he was captured. If this happens for anyone else, try zoning back and forth to see if it is solved.
