AioContext: optimize clearing the EventNotifier
It is pretty rare for aio_notify to actually set the EventNotifier. It
can happen with worker threads such as thread-pool.c's, but otherwise it
should never be set thanks to the ctx->notify_me optimization. The
previous patch, unfortunately, added an unconditional call to
event_notifier_test_and_clear; now add a userspace fast path that
avoids the call.
Note that it is not possible to do the same with event_notifier_set;
it would break, as proved (again) by the included formal model.
This patch survived over 3000 reboots on aarch64 KVM.
