s/furthur/further

The comment below specifically references external clients - I think
the comments for aio_disable_external / aio_enable_external should be
worded similarly, so there is no confusion.

Should this comment read "Enable" instead of "Disable"?

Should we assert(ctx->external_disable_cnt >= 0)?


Additional comment:  the function names aio_enable_external() and
aio_disable_external() may be a bit misleading (particularly
aio_enable_external()).  It doesn't do a blanket enable of external
aio (i.e., it does not just blindly do ctx->external_disable_cnt = 0).

Perhaps something like aio_external_disable_inc/dec()?  (I'm not real
fond of that, either).

Just something for thought.

It seems a little odd to me to have this helper function take the
is_external bool field from the node as the argument - any reason to
do that, rather than pass in the AioHandler and have aio_node_check()
parse whatever fields it deems necessary from it?
