fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_complete
The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous caller through aio_complete. It turns out that basically no one was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches, and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now get rid of this case.
