Following user feedback, this patch simplifies zerocopy send API. One of
the main complaints is that the current API is difficult with the
userspace managing notification slots, and then send retries with error
handling make it even worse.
Instead of keeping notification slots change it to the per-request
notifications model, which posts both completion and notification CQEs
for each request when any data has been sent, and only one CQE if it
fails. All notification CQEs will have IORING_CQE_F_NOTIF set and
IORING_CQE_F_MORE in completion CQEs indicates whether to wait a
notification or not.
IOSQE_CQE_SKIP_SUCCESS is disallowed with zerocopy sends for now.
This is less flexible, but greatly simplifies the user API and also the
kernel implementation. We reuse notif helpers in this patch, but in the
future there won't be need for keeping two requests.

We usually copy all bits that a request needs from the userspace for
async execution, so the userspace can keep them on the stack. However,
send zerocopy violates this pattern for addresses and may reloads it
e.g. from io-wq. Save the address if any in ->async_data as usual.

Add a new io_uring opcode IORING_OP_SENDZC. The main distinction from
IORING_OP_SEND is that the user should specify a notification slot
index in sqe::notification_idx and the buffers are safe to reuse only
when the used notification is flushed and completes.

Similar to multishot recv, this will require provided buffers to be
used. However recvmsg is much more complex than recv as it has multiple
outputs. Specifically flags, name, and control messages.
Support this by introducing a new struct io_uring_recvmsg_out with 4
fields. namelen, controllen and flags match the similar out fields in
msghdr from standard recvmsg(2), payloadlen is the length of the payload
following the header.
This struct is placed at the start of the returned buffer. Based on what
the user specifies in struct msghdr, the next bytes of the buffer will be
name (the next msg_namelen bytes), and then control (the next
msg_controllen bytes). The payload will come at the end. The return value
in the CQE is the total used size of the provided buffer.

For recvmsg/sendmsg, if they don't complete inline, we currently need
to allocate a struct io_async_msghdr for each request. This is a
somewhat large struct.
Hook up sendmsg/recvmsg to use the io_alloc_cache. This reduces the
alloc + free overhead considerably, yielding 4-5% of extra performance
running netbench.
