[PULL 02/27] aio-posix: fix fdmon-io_uring.c timeout stack variable lifetime

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

io_uring_prep_timeout() stashes a pointer to the timespec struct rather
than copying its fields. That means the struct must live until after the
SQE has been submitted by io_uring_enter(2). add_timeout_sqe() violates
this constraint because the SQE is not submitted within the function.

Inline add_timeout_sqe() into fdmon_io_uring_wait() so that the struct
lives at least as long as io_uring_enter(2).

This fixes random hangs (bogus timeout values) when the kernel loads
undefined timespec struct values from userspace after the original
struct on the stack has been destroyed.
