Subject[PATCH] vfs: added better file aio_read aio_write operations presence check
From: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@gmail.com>

If a filesystem in the file operations specifies for read and write operations only do_sync_read and do_sync_write without 
init aio_read and aio_write, there will be a kernel oops, because the vfs code check the presence of (to read for example)
read OR aio_read method, then it calls read if it's pointer is not null. It's not sufficient because if the read function is 
actually a do_sync_read, it calls aio_read but without checking the presence. I think a BUG_ON check can be more useful.
