aio: add a iocb refcount
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is needed to prevent races caused by the way the ->poll API works.
To avoid introducing overhead for other users of the iocbs we initialize
it to zero and only do refcount operations if it is non-zero in the
completion path.
