io_uring/napi: enable even with a timeout of 0

1 usec is not as short as it used to be, and it makes sense to allow 0
for a busy poll timeout - this means just do one loop to check if we
have anything available. Add a separate ->napi_enabled to check if napi
has been enabled or not.

While at it, move the writing of the ctx napi values after we've copied
the old values back to userspace. This ensures that if the call fails,
we'll be in the same state as we were before, rather than some
indeterminate state.

io_uring/napi: ensure napi polling is aborted when work is available

While testing io_uring NAPI with DEFER_TASKRUN, I ran into slowdowns and
stalls in packet delivery. Turns out that while
io_napi_busy_loop_should_end() aborts appropriately on regular
task_work, it does not abort if we have local task_work pending.

Move io_has_work() into the private io_uring.h header, and gate whether
we should continue polling on that as well. This makes NAPI polling on
send/receive work as designed with IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN as well.

io_uring: add register/unregister napi function

This adds an api to register and unregister the napi for io-uring. If
the arg value is specified when unregistering, the current napi setting
for the busy poll timeout is copied into the user structure. If this is
not required, NULL can be passed as the arg value.

io-uring: add napi busy poll support

This adds the napi busy polling support in io_uring.c. It adds a new
napi_list to the io_ring_ctx structure. This list contains the list of
napi_id's that are currently enabled for busy polling. The list is
synchronized by the new napi_lock spin lock. The current default napi
busy polling time is stored in napi_busy_poll_to. If napi busy polling
is not enabled, the value is 0.

In addition there is also a hash table. The hash table store the napi
id and the pointer to the above list nodes. The hash table is used to
speed up the lookup to the list elements. The hash table is synchronized
with rcu.

The NAPI_TIMEOUT is stored as a timeout to make sure that the time a
napi entry is stored in the napi list is limited.

The busy poll timeout is also stored as part of the io_wait_queue. This
is necessary as for sq polling the poll interval needs to be adjusted
and the napi callback allows only to pass in one value.

This has been tested with two simple programs from the liburing library
repository: the napi client and the napi server program. The client
sends a request, which has a timestamp in its payload and the server
replies with the same payload. The client calculates the roundtrip time
and stores it to calculate the results.

The client is running on host1 and the server is running on host 2 (in
the same rack). The measured times below are roundtrip times. They are
average times over 5 runs each. Each run measures 1 million roundtrips.
