    aio: io_cancel() no longer returns the io_event · bec68faa

    Originally, io_event() was documented to return the io_event if
    cancellation succeeded - the io_event wouldn't be delivered via the ring
    buffer like it normally would.
    
    But this isn't what the implementation was actually doing; the only
    driver implementing cancellation, the usb gadget code, never returned an
    io_event in its cancel function. And aio_complete() was recently changed
    to no longer suppress event delivery if the kiocb had been cancelled.
    
    This gets rid of the unused io_event argument to kiocb_cancel() and
    kiocb->ki_cancel(), and changes io_cancel() to return -EINPROGRESS if
    kiocb->ki_cancel() returned success.
    
    Also tweak the refcounting in kiocb_cancel() to make more sense.
