IDGI.
1) can aio_complete() ever return false here?
2) do we ever have aio_kiocb that would not have an associated
struct file * that needs to be dropped on successful aio_complete()? AFAICS,
rw, fsync and poll variants all have one, and I'm not sure what kind of
async IO *could* be done without an opened file.
