There is no need for the AioContext lock in aio_wait_bh_oneshot(). It's easy to remove the lock from existing callers and then switch from AIO_WAIT_WHILE() to AIO_WAIT_WHILE_UNLOCKED() in aio_wait_bh_oneshot(). Document that the AioContext lock should not be held across aio_wait_bh_oneshot(). Holding a lock across aio_poll() can cause deadlock so we don't want callers to do that. This is a step towards getting rid of the AioContext lock.
