[PATCH 02/12] io_uring: move ctx->flags from SQ cacheline

ctx->flags are heavily used by both, completion and submission sides, so
move it out from the ctx fields related to submissions. Instead, place
it together with ctx->refs, because it's already cacheline-aligned and
so pads lots of space, and both almost never change. Also, in most
occasions they are accessed together as refs are taken at submission
time and put back during completion.

Do same with ctx->rings, where the pointer itself is never modified
apart from ring init/free.

Note: in percpu mode, struct percpu_ref doesn't modify the struct itself
but takes indirection with ref->percpu_count_ptr.
