There is also a conflict with e9eab93cc2dc ("fs: don't allow to
complete sync iocbs through aio_complete"), though it doesn't show up
in the resolution since I I just used the next-next tree bits.  So a
common branch containing that as well could be merged into both trees.

But none of this is really that complex, maybe worth a hint to Linus
during the merge window.  Unless there is more planned for that file?
