Oleg Nesterov 855ef0dec7 aio: kill the misleading rcu read locks in ioctx_add_table() and kill_ioctx()
ioctx_add_table() is the writer, it does not need rcu_read_lock() to
protect ->ioctx_table. It relies on mm->ioctx_lock and rcu locks just
add the confusion.

And it doesn't need rcu_dereference() by the same reason, it must see
any updates previously done under the same ->ioctx_lock. We could use
rcu_dereference_protected() but the patch uses rcu_dereference_raw(),
the function is simple enough.

The same for kill_ioctx(), although it does not update the pointer.
