aio: fix io_getevents documentation
In reviewing man pages, I noticed that io_getevents is documented to update the timeout that gets passed into the library call. This doesn't happen in kernel space or in the library (even though it's documented to do so in both places). Unless there is objection, I'd like to fix the comments/docs to match the code (I will also update the man page upon consensus).
