[PATCH 1/2] io_uring: cache req->apoll->events in req->cflags

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

When we arm poll on behalf of a different type of request, like a network
receive, then we allocate req->apoll as our poll entry. Running network
workloads shows io_poll_check_events() as the most expensive part of
io_uring, and it's all due to having to pull in req->apoll instead of
just the request which we have hot already.

Cache poll->events in req->cflags, which isn't used until the request
completes anyway. This isn't strictly needed for regular poll, where
req->poll.events is used and thus already hot, but for the sake of
unification we do it all around.

This saves 3-4% of overhead in certain request workloads.
