io_uring: enable option to only trigger eventfd for async completions

mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.6-rc1
commit f2842ab5
category: feature
bugzilla: https://bugzilla.openeuler.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27
CVE: NA
---------------------------

If an application is using eventfd notifications with poll to know when
new SQEs can be issued, it's expecting the following read/writes to
complete inline. And with that, it knows that there are events available,
and don't want spurious wakeups on the eventfd for those requests.

This adds IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC, which works just like
IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD, except it only triggers notifications for events
that happen from async completions (IRQ, or io-wq worker completions).
Any completions inline from the submission itself will not trigger
notifications.
