[PATCH 26/26] aio: Remove useless get_user_pages() call

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

get_user_pages() call in aio_setup_ring() is useless these days. We
create all ringbuffer the pages in page cache using
find_or_create_page() anyway so we can just use the pointers we get from
this function instead of having to look them up via user address space.
