[PATCH v2] fs/aio: obey min_nr when doing wakeups

[Kent Overstreet]

I've been observing workloads where IPIs due to wakeups in
aio_complete() are ~15% of total CPU time in the profile. Most of those
wakeups are unnecessary when completion batching is in use in
io_getevents().

This plumbs min_nr through via the wait eventry, so that aio_complete()
can avoid doing unnecessary wakeups.

v2: This fixes a race in the first version of the patch. If we read some
events out after adding to the waitlist, we need to update wait.min_nr
call prepare_to_wait_event() again before scheduling.
