[PATCHSET v9] io_uring IO interface

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

Following up on all the great review from yesterday (and today),
here's a v9 that addresses all known review concerns so far.
A particular big thanks to Jann Horn for looking into the grittier
details, which resulted in a slew of fixes. Also thanks to Christoph
for working through the patches. I feel like we're making good
progress here.

A note on ctx->compat still being there - we could store this in
struct sqe_submit, but this doesn't work for the io_sq_thread()
polled submission. Additionally, makes more sense to keep this in
the ctx instead of once per IO.

No new changes in the liburing user side library, but as a reference,
you can clone that here:

git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

We're still missing a man page for io_uring_enter(2), but the two other
system calls are documented.

Patches are against 5.0-rc4, and can also be found in my io_uring branch
here:

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block io_uring

Changes since v8:
- Check for p->sq_thread_cpu being possible
- Check for valid flags in io_uring_enter(2)
- Cap 'to_submit' at SQ ring size in io_uring_enter(2)
- Fix files/mm references
- Don't bother with ctx referencing in io_uring_register(2)
- Use READ/WRITE_ONCE for ring updates/reads
- Use percpu_ref_tryget() for io_get_req()
- Protect sqe reads (that matter) with READ_ONCE()
- Store compat syscall info in the ctx. Still derived from
  in_compat_syscall(), but we need access to it from the io_sq_thread()
  as well.
- Don't make IORING_MAX_ENTRIES user visible
- Address various review comments
