Currently, the user needs to give memory for the data upfront
when registering a zcrx instance, but it's not always easy to
predict for the user how much it will need. This series adds
a way to add more memory / areas at runtime.

Pavel Begunkov (6):
  io_uring/zcrx: remove extra ifq close
  io_uring/zcrx: move freelist lock to struct zcrx
  io_uring/zcrx: store area pointers in an array
  io_uring/zcrx: don't pass ifq_reg for for area creation
  io_uring/zcrx: split append from area creation
  io_uring/zcrx: add dynamic area creation

By the time io_zcrx_ifq_free() is called the interface queue should
already be closed, so io_close_queue() will be a no-op. Remove the call
and add a couple of warnings.

freelist_lock, which protects slow path allocations, is currently stored
in struct io_zcrx_area. Once we add support for multiple queues, we'll
need a lock in the zcrx ctx, move it there.

Currently, we have only a one area per zcrx instance, and struct
io_zcrx_ifq stores a single pointer. To prepare for adding more areas,
replace it with an array of areas.

We'll be creating them at runtime, and io_zcrx_append_area() will take
care of synchronisation. The array is protected by 3 locks: ->pp_lock,
->alloc_lock and ->rq.lock. It takes all of them when switching arrays,
and readers should hold either of them.

We might want to create an area without having an instance of struct
io_uring_zcrx_ifq_reg. Extract a helper that doesn't have the ifq
registration structure as an argument but takes the buf length
explicitly.

A preparation patch, move appending an area from __zcrx_create_area()
to the caller.

It's not always possible for the user to predict during registration how

add more areas with a new ctrl code ZCRX_CTRL_ADD_AREA.

There are some tests in the branch:
