Subject: [PATCH] aio: convert active_reqs into an array

Commit 833f4154ed56 ("aio: fold lookup_kiocb() into its sole caller")
suggests that, the fact that active_reqs is a linked-list means aio_kiocb
lookups in io_cancel() are inefficient. So, to get faster lookups while
maintaining similar characteristics elsewhere, turn active_reqs into an
array and keep track of the free indices of the array (so we know which
indices are safe to use).
