/**
  Invoke the io_getevents() system call, without timeout parameter.

  @param ctx     context from io_setup()
  @param min_nr  minimum number of completion events to wait for
  @param nr      maximum number of completion events to collect
  @param ev      the collected events

  In https://pagure.io/libaio/c/7cede5af5adf01ad26155061cc476aad0804d3fc
  the io_getevents() implementation in libaio was "optimized" so that it
  would elide the system call when there are no outstanding requests
  and a timeout was specified.

  The libaio code for dereferencing ctx would occasionally trigger
  SIGSEGV if io_destroy() was concurrently invoked from another thread.
  Hence, we have to use the raw system call.

  WHY are we doing this at all?
  Because we want io_destroy() from another thread to interrupt io_getevents().

  And, WHY do we want io_destroy() from another thread to interrupt
  io_getevents()?

  Because there is no documented, libaio-friendly and race-condition-free way to
  interrupt io_getevents(). io_destroy() coupled with raw syscall seemed to work
  for us so far.

  Historical note : in the past, we used io_getevents with timeouts. We'd wake
  up periodically, check for shutdown flag, return from the main routine.
  This was admittedly safer, yet it did cost periodic wakeups, which we are not
  willing to do anymore.

  @note we also rely on the undocumented property, that io_destroy(ctx)
  will make this version of io_getevents return EINVAL.
