What should aio_fsync (O_SYNC, NULL) do?

[Andreas Jaeger <aj at suse dot de>]

Uli,

I'm enhancing rt/tst-aio.c to test also aio_fsync.  My Posix Standard
mentions (1003.1, 1996 Edition) on page 181 for aio_fsync:
"If aiocb is NULL, then no status is returned..."

Currently aio_fsync (O_SYNC, NULL) gives a segmentation fault.  The
current Austin Draft does not mention NULL anymore.  Shall I add the
test for NULL or not?

I'm appending my current patch.
