Fix for sys_io_cancel to work properly with retries when a cancel
method is specified for an iocb. Needed with pipe AIO support.

There's a bug in my aio cancel patch, aio_complete still makes an event
for cancelled iocbs. If nobody asks for this event, we effectively leak
space in the event ring buffer. I've attached a new aio_cancel patch
that just skips the event creation for canceled iocbs.
