vfs: Remove aio_linux
Triggered by https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13128 I think
this module should go. Once Linux aio will do what Samba needs, this
might be worth another look.
What we should instead do soon is support Linux preadv2 and the
RWF_NOWAIT flag to avoid the thread context switch whenever possible.
