SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] aio: propogate post-EIOCBQUEUED errors to completion event

It is described in the patch description, though perhaps not
explicitly enough:

"To get this working we change the aio_complete() path so that the ring
insertion is performed as the final iocb reference is dropped."

This stops an aio_complete() from generating a completion event
before the submission path has had a chance to generate an error.
This could happen if O_DIRECT bios completed very quickly before the
submission path had a chance to return up and call
ivalidate_inode_pages2_range().
