This isn't a reliable mechanism to tell if we have task_work pending, we
really should be looking at whether we have any items queued. This is
problematic if forward progress is gated on running said task_work. One
such example is reading from a pipe, where the write side has been closed
right before the read is started. The fput() of the file queues TWA_RESUME
task_work, and we need that task_work to be run before ->release() is
called for the pipe. If ->release() isn't called, then the read will sit
forever waiting on data that will never arise.
Fix this by io_run_task_work() so it checks if we have task_work pending
rather than rely on TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL for that. The latter obviously
doesn't work for task_work that is queued without TWA_SIGNAL.

Overflowing CQEs may result in reordering, which is buggy in case of
links, F_MORE and so on. If we guarantee that we don't reorder for
the unlikely event of a CQ ring overflow, then we can further extend
this to not have to terminate multishot requests if it happens. For
other operations, like zerocopy sends, we have no choice but to honor
CQE ordering.

In case of DEFER_TASK_WORK we try to restrict waiters to only one task,
which is also the only submitter; however, we don't do it reliably,
which might be very confusing and backfire in the future. E.g. we
currently allow multiple tasks in io_iopoll_check().

Combine the two checks we have for task_work running and whether or not
we need to shuffle the mutex into one, so we unify how task_work is run
in the iopoll loop. This helps ensure that local task_work is run when
needed, and also optimizes that path to avoid a mutex shuffle if it's
not needed.

Allow deferring async tasks until the user calls io_uring_enter(2) with
the IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS flag. Enable this mode with a flag at
io_uring_setup time. This functionality requires that the later
io_uring_enter will be called from the same submission task, and therefore
restrict this flag to work only when IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER is also
set.
Being able to hand pick when tasks are run prevents the problem where
there is current work to be done, however task work runs anyway.
For example, a common workload would obtain a batch of CQEs, and process
each one. Interrupting this to additional taskwork would add latency but
not gain anything. If instead task work is deferred to just before more
CQEs are obtained then no additional latency is added.
The way this is implemented is by trying to keep task work local to a
io_ring_ctx, rather than to the submission task. This is required, as the
application will want to wake up only a single io_ring_ctx at a time to
process work, and so the lists of work have to be kept separate.
This has some other benefits like not having to check the task continually
in handle_tw_list (and potentially unlocking/locking those), and reducing
locks in the submit & process completions path.
There are networking cases where using this option can reduce request
latency by 50%. For example a contrived example using [1] where the client
sends 2k data and receives the same data back while doing some system
calls (to trigger task work) shows this reduction. The reason ends up
being that if sending responses is delayed by processing task work, then
the client side sits idle. Whereas reordering the sends first means that
the client runs it's workload in parallel with the local task work.

Add internal part of send zerocopy notifications. There are two main
structures, the first one is struct io_notif, which carries inside
struct ubuf_info and maps 1:1 to it. io_uring will be binding a number
of zerocopy send requests to it and ask to complete (aka flush) it. When
flushed and all attached requests and skbs complete, it'll generate one
and only one CQE. There are intended to be passed into the network layer
as struct msghdr::msg_ubuf.
The second concept is notification slots. The userspace will be able to
register an array of slots and subsequently addressing them by the index
in the array. Slots are independent of each other. Each slot can have
only one notifier at a time (called active notifier) but many notifiers
during the lifetime. When active, a notifier not going to post any
completion but the userspace can attach requests to it by specifying
the corresponding slot while issueing send zc requests. Eventually, the
userspace will want to "flush" the notifier losing any way to attach
new requests to it, however it can use the next atomatically added
notifier of this slot or of any other slot.
When the network layer is done with all enqueued skbs attached to a
notifier and doesn't need the specified in them user data, the flushed
notifier will post a CQE.

If we're offloading requests directly to io-wq because IOSQE_ASYNC was
set in the sqe, we can miss hashing writes appropriately because we
haven't set REQ_F_ISREG yet. This can cause a performance regression
with buffered writes, as io-wq then no longer correctly serializes writes
to that file.
Ensure that we set the flags in io_prep_async_work(), which will cause
the io-wq work item to be hashed appropriately.

It's not clear how widely used IOSQE_CQE_SKIP_SUCCESS is, and how often
->flush_cqes flag prevents from completion being flushed. Sometimes it's
high level of concurrency that enables it at least for one CQE, but
sometimes it doesn't save much because nobody waiting on the CQ.
Remove ->flush_cqes flag and the optimisation, it should benefit the
normal use case. Note, that there is no spurious eventfd problem with
that as checks for spuriousness were incorporated into
io_eventfd_signal().

Normally request handlers complete requests themselves, if they don't
return an error. For the latter case, the core will complete it for
them.
This is unhandy for pushing opcode handlers further out, as we don't
want a bunch of inline completion code and we don't want to make the
completion path slower than it is now.
Let the core handle any completion, unless the handler explicitly
asks us not to.
