Pavel Shilovsky c610c4b619 CIFS: Add asynchronous write support through kernel AIO
This patch adds support to process write calls passed by io_submit()
asynchronously. It based on the previously introduced async context
that allows to process i/o responses in a separate thread and
return the caller immediately for asynchronous calls.

This improves writing performance of single threaded applications
with increasing of i/o queue depth size.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
