Simple enough - the patch below removes the warning from generic/036
for me.

aio: annotate aio_read_event_ring for sleep patterns

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, aio_read_event_ring() will throw
warnings like the following due to being called from wait_event
context:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 16006 at kernel/sched/core.c:7300 __might_sleep+0x7f/0x90()

There is not actually a bug here, so annotate the code to tell the
debug logic that everything is just fine and not to fire a false
positive.
