[PATCH] AIO: Don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit()

[Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@oracle.com>]

Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased
between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from
do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.
