[PATCH] aio: only suppress events from cancelled kiocbs if free_ioctx() is in progress

[Benjamin LaHaise]

The io_cancel() syscall allows for cancellation of iocbs in flight to
generate a completion event.  The current behaviour of batch_complete_aio()
is to suppress all completion events.  Some types of asynchronous operations
cannot be cancelled synchronously, and must generate a completion event at
some point after the io_cancel() syscall.  Instead, only suppress
completion events during kioctx teardown by free_ioctx().
