aio-posix: move pollfds to thread-local storage

By using thread-local storage, aio_poll can stop using global data during
g_poll_ns.  This will make it possible to drop callbacks from rfifolock.

[Moved npfd = 0 assignment to end of walking_handlers region as
suggested by Paolo.  This resolves the assert(npfd == 0) assertion
failure in pollfds_cleanup().
