io_uring: io_uring_enter(2) don't poll while SETUP_IOPOLL|SETUP_SQPOLL enabled 

When SETUP_IOPOLL and SETUP_SQPOLL are both enabled, applications don't need
to do io completion events polling again, they can rely on io_sq_thread to do
polling work, which can reduce cpu usage and uring_lock contention.

I modify fio io_uring engine codes a bit to evaluate the performance:
static int fio_ioring_getevents(struct thread_data *td, unsigned int min,
                        continue;
                }

-               if (!o->sqpoll_thread) {
+               if (o->sqpoll_thread && o->hipri) {
                        r = io_uring_enter(ld, 0, actual_min,
                                                IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS);
                        if (r < 0) {

and use "fio  -name=fiotest -filename=/dev/nvme0n1 -iodepth=$depth -thread
-rw=read -ioengine=io_uring  -hipri=1 -sqthread_poll=1  -direct=1 -bs=4k
-size=10G -numjobs=1  -time_based -runtime=120"

bw improve    |     5.5% |    13.2% |    12.3% |     9.8% |    11.5%
--------------------------------------------------------------------

From above test results, we can see that bw has above 5.5%~13%
improvement, and fio process's cpu usage also drops much. Note this
won't improve io_sq_thread's cpu usage when SETUP_IOPOLL|SETUP_SQPOLL
are both enabled, in this case, io_sq_thread always has 100% cpu usage.
I think this patch will be friendly to applications which will often use
io_uring_wait_cqe() or similar from liburing.
