[PATCH] change io_cancel return code for no cancel case

Note that other than few exceptions, most of the current filesystem and/or
drivers do not have aio cancel specifically defined (kiob->ki_cancel field
is mostly NULL).  However, sys_io_cancel system call universally sets
return code to -EAGAIN.  This gives applications a wrong impression that
this call is implemented but just never works.  We have customer inquires
about this issue.

Changed by Benjamin LaHaise to EINVAL instead of ENOSYS
