aio: make aio_put_req() lockless
Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.
