aio-wait: avoid AioContext lock in aio_wait_bh_oneshot()
There is no need for the AioContext lock in aio_wait_bh_oneshot().
It's easy to remove the lock from existing callers and then switch from
AIO_WAIT_WHILE() to AIO_WAIT_WHILE_UNLOCKED() in aio_wait_bh_oneshot().
Document that the AioContext lock should not be held across
aio_wait_bh_oneshot(). Holding a lock across aio_poll() can cause
deadlock so we don't want callers to do that.
This is a step towards getting rid of the AioContext lock.
