aio-posix: move RCU_READ_LOCK() into run_poll_handlers()
Now that run_poll_handlers_once() is only called by run_poll_handlers() we can improve the CPU time profile by moving the expensive RCU_READ_LOCK() out of the polling loop. This reduces the run_poll_handlers() from 40% CPU to 10% CPU in perf's sampling profiler output.
