I had some time last week to make an aio openat do what it can in
submit context. The results are an improvement: when openat is handled
in submit context it completes in about half the time it takes compared
to the round trip via the work queue, and it's not terribly much code
either.

aio: add support for in-submit openat
Using the LOOKUP_RCU infrastructure added for open(), implement such
functionality to enable in io_submit() openat() that does a non-blocking
file open operation. This avoids the overhead of punting to another
kernel thread to complete the open operation when the files and data are
already in the dcache. This helps cut simple aio openat() from ~60-90K
cycles to ~24-45K cycles on my test system.
