[PATCH 2/7] aio: remove an outdated BUG_ON and comment in aio_complete

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Wed May 02 2018 - 17:16:34 EST


These days we don't treat sync iocbs special in the aio completion code as
they never use it. Remove the old comment and BUG_ON given that the
current definition of is_sync_kiocb makes it impossible to hit.
