    Unused iocbs in a batch should not be accounted as active.

    Since commit 080d676de095 ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs
are allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs.  All iocbs in
a batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted
in ctx->reqs_active.

    If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails,
further iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in
ctx->active_reqs and accounted in ctx->reqs_active.  This causes process
to stuck in a D state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since
ctx->reqs_active will never go down to zero.  Furthermore since
kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb without removing it from active_reqs list
the list become corrupted which may cause oops.

    Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().
