These days we don't treat sync iocbs special in the aio completion code as
they never use it.  Remove the old comment, and move the BUG_ON for a sync
iocb to the top of the function.

Is this BUG_ON even needed anymore?  Does it ever trip in any "regular"
use, or is it only there for when a developer does something dumb?  If
"dumb", then we should keep it, otherwise we might be able to just drop
it.

Either way, this patch is fine:
