aio: wake up waiters when freeing unused kiocbs

Bart Van Assche reported a hung fio process when either hot-removing
storage or when interrupting the fio process itself.  The (pruned) call
trace for the latter looks like so:

  fio             D 0000000000000001     0  6849   6848 0x00000004

The problem lies with the allocation batching code.  It will
opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
events.

In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters.  Unfortunately, the
code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.
