A previous commit added a trylock for getting the SQPOLL thread info via
fdinfo, but this introduced a regression where we often fail to get it if
the thread is busy. For that case, we end up not printing the current CPU
and PID info.
Rather than rely on this lock, just print the pid we already stored in
the io_sq_data struct, and ensure we update the current CPU every time
we've slept or potentially rescheduled. The latter won't potentially be
100% accurate, but that wasn't the case before either as the task can
get migrated at any time unless it has been pinned at creation time.
We retain keeping the io_sq_data dereference inside the ctx->uring_lock,
as it has always been, as destruction of the thread and data happen below
that. We could make this RCU safe, but there's little point in doing that.
With this, we always print the last valid information we had, rather than
have spurious outputs with missing information.

If we setup the ring with SQPOLL, then that polling thread has its
own io-wq setup. This means that if the application uses
IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_AFF to set the io-wq affinity, we should not be
setting it for the invoking task, but rather the sqpoll task.
Add an sqpoll helper that parks the thread and updates the affinity,
and use that one if we're using SQPOLL.

The sq thread actively releases CPU resources by calling the
cond_resched() and schedule() interfaces when it is idle. Therefore,
more resources are available for other threads to run.
There exists a problem in sq thread: it does not unlock sqd->lock before
releasing CPU resources every time. This makes other threads pending on
sqd->lock for a long time. For example, the following interfaces all
require sqd->lock: io_sq_offload_create(), io_register_iowq_max_workers()
and io_ring_exit_work().
Before the sq thread releases CPU resources, unlocking sqd->lock will
provide the user a better experience because it can respond quickly to
user requests.

Users may specify a CPU where the sqpoll thread would run. This may
conflict with cpuset operations because of strict PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
requirement. That flag is unnecessary for polling "kernel" threads, see
the reasoning in commit 01e68ce08a ("io_uring/io-wq: stop setting
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY on io-wq workers"). Drop the flag on poll threads too.

Change the return type to void since it always return 0, and no need
to do the checking in syscall io_uring_enter.
