From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: aio: fix kioctx not being freed after cancellation at exit time

The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in
the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at
exit_aio() time.  Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its
completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to
wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx().  Fix this by adding a wake_up()
in batch_complete_aio() and modifying the wait_event() condition in
free_ioctx() appropriately.
