Coverity is wrong.

This is where we return after AIO submission. The struct dio has
already been attached to the bio we have submitted, and will be
freed on IO completion. We are simply not waiting for IO completion
here, instead leaving it to the completion code to free the struct
dio and pass the completion status to the AIO code appropriately.
Cheers,
