aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock()

The patch still removes the empty line between mmap_size = 0 and kill_ioctx(), we reset mmap_size only for kill_ioctx(). But feel free to remove this change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock() 1. We can read ->ioctx_table only once and we do not read rcu_read_lock() or even rcu_dereference(). This mm has no users, nobody else can play with ->ioctx_table. Otherwise the code is buggy anyway, if we need rcu_read_lock() in a loop because ->ioctx_table can be updated then kfree(table) is obviously wrong. 2. Update the comment. "exit_mmap(mm) is coming" is the good reason to avoid munmap(), but another reason is that we simply can't do vm_munmap() unless current->mm == mm and this is not true in general, the caller is mmput(). 3. We do not really need to nullify mm->ioctx_table before return, probably the current code does this to catch the potential problems. But in this case RCU_INIT_POINTER(NULL) looks better.
