AIO deletion race fix

When deleting an fd event there is a chance the object doesn't get
deleted, but only ->deleted set positive and deleted somewhere later.

Now, if we create a handler for the fd again before the actual
deletion occurs, we end up writing data into an object that has
->deleted set, which is obviously wrong.

I see two ways to fix this:

1. Don't return ->deleted objects in the search
2. Unset ->deleted in the search

This patch implements 1. which feels safer to do. It fixes AIO issues
I've seen with curl, as libcurl unsets fd event listeners pretty
frequently.
