In the asynchronous I/O interface, InnoDB is invoking io_getevents()
with a timeout value of half a second, and requesting exactly 1 event
at a time.

The reason to have such a short timeout is to facilitate shutdown.

We can do better: Use an infinite timeout, wait for a larger maximum
number of events. On shutdown, we will invoke io_destroy(), which
should lead to the io_getevents system call reporting EINVAL.

my_getevents(): Reimplement the libaio io_getevents() by only invoking
the system call. The library implementation would try to elide the
system call and return 0 immediately if aio_ring_is_empty() holds.
Here, we do want a blocking system call, not 100% CPU usage. Neither
do we want the aio_ring_is_empty() trigger SIGSEGV because it is
dereferencing some memory that was freed by io_destroy().
