This patch (as837) fixes several mistakes in the AIO interface of the
gadgetfs driver:

The ki_retry method is not supposed to do a put on the kiocb.
The extra call to aio_put_req() causes memory corruption.
(Note: This call was removed before, by patch as691, and then
mysteriously re-introduced later.)

Even if a read transfer is cancelled, we can and should send
to the user all the data that did manage to get transferred.

Testing for AIO cancellation in the I/O completion handler
is both racy and (now) unnecessary.  aio_complete() does its
own checking, in a safe manner.
