In r322258 I made p1003_1b.aio_listio_max a tunable. However, further
investigation shows that there was never any good reason for that limit to
exist in the first place. It's used in two completely different ways:
* To size a UMA zone, which globally limits the number of concurrent
aio_suspend calls.
* To artifically limit the number of operations in a single lio_listio call.
There doesn't seem to be any memory allocation associated with this limit.
This change does two things:
* Properly names aio_suspend's UMA zone, and sizes it based on a new constant.
* Eliminates the artifical restriction on lio_listio. Instead, lio_listio
calls will now be limited by the more generous max_aio_queue_per_proc. The
old p1003_1b.aio_listio_max is now an alias for
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc, so sysconf(3) will still work with
_SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX.
