>(not pretty)

You do the RCU thingy and replace locking. Is this required after the
patch I've sent in "Re: [RFC PATCH V2] rt/aio: fix rcu garbage
collection might_sleep() splat"? From a quick browse I've seen that
ffs_epfile_aio_write() invokes kiocb_set_cancel_fn(, ffs_aio_cancel) and
the function does hold a sleeping lock.
