[PATCH] aio: kiocb locking to serialise retry and cancel

Implement a per-kiocb lock to serialise retry operations and cancel.  This
is done using wait_on_bit_lock() on the KIF_LOCKED bit of kiocb->ki_flags.
Also, make the cancellation path lock the kiocb and subsequently release
all references to it if the cancel was successful.  This version includes a
fix for the deadlock with __aio_run_iocbs.
