[2.6.24 BUG] 100% iowait on host while UML is running

[Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>]

On 2.6.24, top started showing 100% iowait on one CPU when a UML
instance was running (but completely idle).  I've traced it to this
commit.  Reverting it cures the problem.

    aio: account I/O wait time properly
    
    Some months back I proposed changing the schedule() call in
    read_events to an io_schedule():
    	http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.aio.general/2006-10/msg00024.html
    This was rejected as there are AIO operations that do not initiate
    disk I/O.  I've had another look at the problem, and the only AIO
    operation that will not initiate disk I/O is IOCB_CMD_NOOP.  However,
    this command isn't even wired up!
    
    Given that it doesn't work, and hasn't for *years*, I'm going to
    suggest again that we do proper I/O accounting when using AIO.
