[PATCH v5 1/4] linux-aio: use LinuxAioState from the running thread

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito]

Remove usage of aio_context_acquire by always submitting asynchronous
AIO to the current thread's LinuxAioState.

In order to prevent mistakes from the caller side, avoid passing LinuxAioState
in laio_io_{plug/unplug} and laio_co_submit, and document the functions
to make clear that they work in the current thread's AioContext.
