aio: only account I/O wait time in read_events if there are active requests
On 2.6.24, top started showing 100% iowait on one CPU when a UML instance was running (but completely idle). The UML code sits in io_getevents waiting for an event to be submitted and completed. Fix this by checking ctx->reqs_active before scheduling to determine whether or not we are waiting for I/O.
