Currently if gluster AIO callback thread fails to notify the QEMU thread about
AIO completion, we try graceful recovery by marking the disk drive as
inaccessible. This error recovery code is race-prone as found by Asias and
Stefan. However as found out by Paolo, this kind of error is impossible and
hence simplify the code that handles this error recovery.

Still, considering everyone can be wrong, adding the errno here is
probably not a bad idea. :)
