CIFS: Add asynchronous read support through kernel AIO

Browse source

This patch adds support to process read calls passed by io_submit()
asynchronously. It based on the previously introduced async context
that allows to process i/o responses in a separate thread and
return the caller immediately for asynchronous calls.

This improves reading performance of single threaded applications
with increasing of i/o queue depth size.
