[PATCH -mm][AIO] Fix AIO completion signal notification possibleref leak

[Sébastien Dugué]

  Andrew,

  here is an incremental patch to fix a possible ref leak when users
do weird things with the ->sigev_notify flags.

  Thanks Oleg for spotting this.

  Sébastien.

         Fix AIO completion signal notification possible ref leak

  Make sure we only accept valid sigev_notify values in aio_setup_sigevent(),
namely SIGEV_NONE, SIGEV_THREAD_ID or SIGEV_SIGNAL.
