Way, way back kiocb used to be picked from arrays, so ioctx_alloc()
checked for multiplication overflow when calculating the size of
such array. By the time fs/aio.c went into the tree (in 2002) they
were already allocated one-by-one by kmem_cache_alloc(), so that
check had already become pointless. Let's bury it...
