[PULL v2 15/28] block/io_uring: use non-vectored read/write when possible

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

The io_uring_prep_readv2/writev2() man pages recommend using the
non-vectored read/write operations when possible for performance
reasons.

I didn't measure a significant difference but it doesn't hurt to have
this optimization in place.
