[PATCH] netfs: Fix AIO error handling when doing write-through

If an error occurs whilst we're doing an AIO write in write-through mode,
we may end up calling ->ki_complete() *and* returning an error from
->write_iter(). This can result in either a UAF (the ->ki_complete() func
pointer may get overwritten, for example) or a refcount underflow in
io_submit() as ->ki_complete is called twice.
Fix this by making netfs_end_writethrough() - and thus
netfs_perform_write() - unconditionally return -EIOCBQUEUED if we're doing
an AIO write and wait for completion if we're not.
Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")
