aio-posix: do skip system call if ctx->notifier polling succeeds

Commit 70232b5253 ("aio-posix: Don't count ctx->notifier as progress when
2018-08-15), by not reporting progress, causes aio_poll to execute the
system call when polling succeeds because of ctx->notifier.  This introduces
latency before the call to aio_bh_poll() and negates the advantages of
polling, unfortunately.

The fix builds on the previous patch, separating the effect of polling on
the timeout from the progress reported to aio_poll().  ctx->notifier
does zero the timeout, causing the caller to skip the system call,
but it does not report progress, so that the bug fix of commit 70232b5253
still stands.
