[PATCH 55/70] USB: gadgetfs AIO tweaks

From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

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.
