If we have a read/write that is deferred, we already setup the async IO context for that request. and mapped it. When we later try and execute the request and we get -EAGAIN, we don't want to attempt to re-map it. If we do, we end up with garbage in the iovec, which typically leads to an -EFAULT or -EINVAL completion.
