Careful review is appreciated; the aio poll code is very hard to work
with, and it doesn't appear to have many tests.  I've verified that it
passes the libaio test suite, which provides some coverage of poll.

Note, it looks like io_uring has the same bugs as aio poll.  I haven't
tried to fix io_uring.
I'm hoping Jens is looking at the io_ring case, but I'm also assuming
that I'll just get a pull request for this at some point.

It looks sane to me - my only internal cursing has been about epoll
and aio in general, not about these patches in particular.
