[PATCH] aio: fix potential leak in aio_run_iocb().

From: Leon Yu
Date: Wed Apr 30 2014 - 23:32:47 EST


iovec should be reclaimed whenever caller of rw_copy_check_uvector() returns,
but it doesn't hold when failure happens right after aio_setup_vectored_rw().

Fix that in a such way to avoid hairy goto.
