From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
"aio: remove the extra get_file/fput pair in io_submit_one" was
too optimistic - not dereferencing file pointer after e.g.
->write_iter() returns is not enough; that reference might've been
the only thing that kept alive objects that are referenced
*before* the method returns. Such as inode, for example...
