aio: Don't use ctx->tail unnecessarily

aio_complete() (arguably) needs to keep its own trusted copy of the tail
pointer, but io_getevents() doesn't have to use it - it's already using
the head pointer from the ring buffer.

So convert it to use the tail from the ring buffer so it touches fewer
cachelines and doesn't contend with the cacheline aio_complete() needs.
