aio: fix io_setup/io_destroy race

Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it
on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit.  The current
code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed
to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right
under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to
io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end
up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...
