[PATCH -mm 9/10][RFC] aio: usb gadget remove aio file ops

[Nate Diller]

This removes the aio implementation from the usb gadget file system.  Aside
from making very creative (!) use of the aio retry path, it can't be of any
use performance-wise because it always kmalloc()s a bounce buffer for the
*whole* I/O size.  Perhaps the only reason to keep it around is the ability
to cancel I/O requests, which only applies when using the user space async
I/O interface.  I highly doubt that is enough incentive to justify the extra
complexity here or in user-space, so I think it's a safe bet to remove this. 
If that feature still desired, it would be possible to implement a sync
interface that does an interruptible sleep.

I can be convinced otherwise, but the alternatives are difficult.  See for
example the "fuse, get_user_pages, flush_anon_page, aliasing caches and all
that again" LKML thread recently for why it's waaay easier to kmalloc a
bounce buffer here, and (ab)use the retry interface.
