commit 3c80ca15 fixed a deadlock scenarion with nested aio_poll invocations.

However, the rescheduling of the completion BH introcuded unnecessary spinning
in the main-loop. On very fast file backends this can even lead to the
"WARNING: I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations" message popping up.

Callgrind reports about 3-4% less instructions with this patch running
qemu-img bench on a ramdisk based VMDK file.
