<title>io_uring/napi: use ktime in busy polling</title>

It's more natural to use ktime/ns instead of keeping around usec,
especially since we're comparing it against user provided timers,
so convert napi busy poll internal handling to ktime. It's also nicer
since the type (ktime_t vs unsigned long) now tells the unit of measure.

Keep everything as ktime, which we convert to/from micro seconds for
IORING_[UN]REGISTER_NAPI. The net/ busy polling works seems to work with
usec, however it's not real usec as shift by 10 is used to get it from
nsecs, see busy_loop_current_time(), so it's easy to get truncated nsec
back and we get back better precision.

Note, we can further improve it later by removing the truncation and
maybe convincing net/ to use ktime/ns instead.

now that the ctx is already properly locked and that deferred

All our task_work handling is targeted at the state in the io_kiocb
itself, which is what it is being used for. However, MSG_RING rolls its
own task_work handling, ignoring how that is usually done.

In preparation for switching MSG_RING to be able to use the normal
task_work handling, add io_req_task_work_add_remote() which allows the
caller to pass in the target io_ring_ctx.

This is pretty nicely abstracted already, but let's move it to a separate
file rather than have it in the main io_uring file. With that, we can
also move the io_ev_fd struct and enum out of global scope.

In some ways, it just "happens to work" currently with using the ops
field for both the free and signaling bit. But it depends on ordering
of operations in terms of freeing and signaling. Clean it up and use the
usual refs == 0 under RCU read side lock to determine if the ev_fd is
still valid, and use the reference to gate the freeing as well.

<title>io_uring/rw: reinstate thread check for retries</title>

Allowing retries for everything is arguably the right thing to do, now
that every command type is async read from the start. But it's exposed a
few issues around missing check for a retry (which cca6571381a0 exposed),
and the fixup commit for that isn't necessarily 100% sound in terms of
iov_iter state.

For now, just revert these two commits. This unfortunately then re-opens
the fact that -EAGAIN can get bubbled to userspace for some cases where
the kernel very well could just sanely retry them. But until we have all
the conditions covered around that, we cannot safely enable that.

This reverts commit df604d2ad480fcf7b39767280c9093e13b1de952.

A previous commit removed the checking on whether or not it was possible
to retry a request, since it's now possible to retry any of them. This
would previously have caused the request to have been ended with an error,
but now the retry condition can simply get lost instead.

Cleanup the retry handling and always just punt it to task_work, which
will queue it with io-wq appropriately.
