Use after free - that list insertion used to be done by drivers and doing
so before any ->ki_complete() calls might've happened used to be their
responsibility.  Now you've taken that to the point after ->read_iter()
(or ->write_iter()) return, so there's no way in hell to guarantee it's
not been completed (and freed) by that point.

Incidentally, none of the callers gives a damn about the difference between
0 and -EIOCBQUEUED now, so aio_rw_ret() might as well had been made void...
