aio: kill batch allocation

Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global
(well, per kioctx) cachelines...  so batching up allocation to amortize
those was worthwhile.  But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in
another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any
shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out.
