Subject: [PATCH 1/2] aio: correct calculation of available events

When the number of available events in the ring buffer is calculated,
the avail calculation is incorrect when head == tail.  This is harmless
in aio_read_events_ring(), but in free_ioctx() leads to the subsequent
WARN_ON(atomic_read(&ctx->reqs_available) > ctx->nr).  Correct this.
