    btrfs: nowait aio support

apparently breaks several shell related features on my system.
In zsh history stopped working, because no new entries are added
anymore.
I fist noticed the issue when I tried to build mplayer. It uses a shell
script to generate a help_mp.h file:

  % help/help_create.sh help/help_mp-en.h UTF-8

This file gets corrupted:
