eventfd/kaio integration fix

Jeff Roberson discovered a race when using kaio eventfd based notifications.
When it occurs it can lead tomissed wakeups and hung userspace.

This patch fixes the race by moving the notification inside the spinlocked
section of kaio.  The operation is safe since eventfd spinlock and kaio one
are unrelated.
