Subject: [PATCH] functionfs: Avoid aio locking problem

The functionfs aio logic seems broken. When using functionfs,
I was seeing frequent hangs, and enabling spinlock debugging,
I got:

Looking at the code, the __vfs_read() calls new_sync_read(),
which allocates a struct kiocb kiocb on the stack and passes
it to the ffs_epfile_read_iter() funciton. That then calls
kiocb_set_cancel_fn() passing a pointer to that kiocb. However,
kiocb_set_cancel_fn() assumes the kiocb is a sub-element of a
struct aio_kiocb, and it tries to grab the kioctx from that
parent structure. However it seems there is no aio_kiocb
structure here, so the spin_lock_irqsave hangs trying to lock
random data on the stack.

This patch avoids the issue, by only calling kiocb_set_cancel_fn
if the aio flag is set.
