    aio: use cancellation list lazily · 0460fef2

    Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list,
    which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in
    the fast path.  But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do
    this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead.
    
    While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel
    itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed.  This lets
    us get rid of ki_flags entirely.
