aoe: perform I/O completions in parallel
Some users have a large AoE target while others like to use many AoE targets at the same time. In the latter case, there is an opportunity to greatly improve aggregate throughput by allowing different threads to complete the I/O associated with each target. For 36 targets, 4 KiB read throughput roughly doubles, for example, with these changes in place.
