aio: make aio_put_req() lockless

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:

 * Pull it off the reqs_active list
 * Decrementing reqs_active
 * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.

This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:

 * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
   kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
   do it twice.
 * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
   for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
 * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
   completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
   at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
   kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.

This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.

It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list.  This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.
