ovl_{read,write}_iter() always call fdput(real) to put one or zero
refcounts of the real file, but for aio, whether it was submitted or not,
ovl_aio_put() also calls fdput(), which is not balanced. This is only a
problem in the less common case when FDPUT_FPUT flag is set.
To fix the problem use get_file() to take file refcount and use fput()
instead of fdput() in ovl_aio_put().

Miklos,
This is the refcount leak fix that I found during work on backing_fs [1]
that deserves to be fast tracked into stable.
If it's ok with you, I will prepare a PR after rc1 including this
fix and the symlink fileattr fix.
Thanks,
Amir.
