Subject[patch] aio: streamline read events after woken up
Date
The read event loop in the blocking path is also inefficient. For every
event it reap (if not blocking), it does the following in a loop:

while (i < nr) {
prepare_to_wait_exclusive
aio_read_evt
finish_wait
...
}

Given the previous patch "aio: add per task aio wait event condition"
that we properly wake up event waiting process knowing that we have
enough events to reap, it's just plain waste of time to insert itself
into a wait queue, and then immediately remove itself from the wait
queue for *every* event reap iteration.

This patch factors out the wait queue insertion/deletion out of the event
reap loop, streamlines the event reaping after the process wakes up.
