io_uring: add file set registration
We normally have to fget/fput for each IO we do on a file. Even with the batching we do, the cost of the atomic inc/dec of the file usage count adds up. This adds IORING_REGISTER_FILES, and IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES opcodes for the io_uring_register(2) system call. The arguments passed in must be an array of __s32 holding file descriptors, and nr_args should hold the number of file descriptors the application wishes to pin for the duration of the io_uring instance (or until IORING_UNREGISTER_FILES is called). When used, the application must set IOSQE_FIXED_FILE in the sqe->flags member. Then, instead of setting sqe->fd to the real fd, it sets sqe->fd to the index in the array passed in to IORING_REGISTER_FILES. Files are automatically unregistered when the io_uring instance is torn down. An application need only unregister if it wishes to register a new set of fds.
