aio: sanitize the limit checking in io_submit(2)
as it is, the logics in native io_submit(2) is "if asked for
more than LONG_MAX/sizeof(pointer) iocbs to submit, don't
bother with more than LONG_MAX/sizeof(pointer)" (i.e.
512M requests on 32bit and 1E requests on 64bit) while
compat io_submit(2) goes with "stop after the first
PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(pointer) iocbs", i.e. 1K or so. Which is
* inconsistent
* *way* too much in native case
* possibly too little in compat one
and
* wrong anyway, since the natural point where we
ought to stop bothering is ctx->nr_events
