    In the patch "aio: convert the ioctx list to table lookup v3", incorrect
    handling in the ioctx_alloc() error path was introduced that lead to an
    ioctx being added via ioctx_add_table() while freed when the ioctx_alloc()
    call returned -EAGAIN due to hitting the aio_max_nr limit.  Fix this by
    only calling ioctx_add_table() as the last step in ioctx_alloc().
    
    Also, several unnecessary rcu_dereference() calls were added that lead to
    RCU warnings where the system was already protected by a spin lock for
    accessing mm->ioctx_table.
