[RFC 4/5] dio: remove duplicate bio wait code

[Zach Brown]

dio: remove duplicate bio wait code

Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the
async 'should_wait' path.  It continues to rely on the fragile link between the
conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and the
conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free.

By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from calling
dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the reference
count drop to 0.  We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which now
notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the waiter.
