io_uring: add support for IORING_OP_MSG_RING command
This adds support for IORING_OP_MSG_RING, which allows an SQE to signal
another ring. That allows either waking up someone waiting on the ring,
or even passing a 64-bit value via the user_data field in the CQE.
sqe->fd must contain the fd of a ring that should receive the CQE.
sqe->off will be propagated to the cqe->user_data on the target ring,
and sqe->len will be propagated to cqe->res. The results CQE will have
IORING_CQE_F_MSG set in its flags, to indicate that this CQE was generated
from a messaging request rather than a SQE issued locally on that ring.
This effectively allows passing a 64-bit and a 32-bit quantify between
the two rings.
This request type has the following request specific error cases:
- -EBADFD. Set if the sqe->fd doesn't point to a file descriptor that is
of the io_uring type.
- -EOVERFLOW. Set if we were not able to deliver a request to the target
ring.
