Pavel Begunkov 1b4a51b6d0 io_uring: drain next sqe instead of shadowing
There's an issue with the shadow drain logic in that we drop the
completion lock after deciding to defer a request, then re-grab it later
and assume that the state is still the same. In the mean time, someone
else completing a request could have found and issued it. This can cause
a stall in the queue, by having a shadow request inserted that nobody is
going to drain.

Additionally, if we fail allocating the shadow request, we simply ignore
the drain.

Instead of using a shadow request, defer the next request/link instead.
This also has the following advantages:

- removes semi-duplicated code
- doesn't allocate memory for shadows
- works better if only the head marked for drain
- doesn't need complex synchronisation

On the flip side, it removes the shadow->seq ==
last_drain_in_in_link->seq optimization. That shouldn't be a common
case, and can always be added back, if needed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
