[patch] aio: remove spurious ring head index modulo info->nr

[Chen, Kenneth W]

In aio_read_evt(), the ring->head will never wrap info->nr because
we already does the wrap when updating the ring head index:

        if (head != ring->tail) {
                ...
                head = (head + 1) % info->nr;
                ring->head = head;
        }

This makes the modulo of ring->head into local variable head unnecessary.
This patch removes that bogus code.
