Revert "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again"

Patch "fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again" is based on the
assumption that calling kiocb->ki_cancel() does not complete R/W requests.
This is incorrect: the two drivers that call kiocb_set_cancel_fn() callers
set a cancellation function that calls usb_ep_dequeue(). According to its
documentation, usb_ep_dequeue() calls the completion routine with status
-ECONNRESET. Hence this revert.
