Subject: [PATCH] aio: use wait_for_completion_io() when waiting for completion of io

When waiting for the completion of io, we need account iowait time. As
wait_for_completion() calls schedule_timeout(), which doesn't account
iowait time. While wait_for_completion_io() calls io_schedule_timeout(),
which will account iowait time.

So using wait_for_completion_io() instead of wait_for_completion()
when waiting for completion of io before exit_aio and io_destroy.
