Jens Axboe 7b72d661f1 io_uring: gate iowait schedule on having pending requests
A previous commit made all cqring waits marked as iowait, as a way to
improve performance for short schedules with pending IO. However, for
use cases that have a special reaper thread that does nothing but
wait on events on the ring, this causes a cosmetic issue where we
know have one core marked as being "busy" with 100% iowait.

While this isn't a grave issue, it is confusing to users. Rather than
always mark us as being in iowait, gate setting of current->in_iowait
to 1 by whether or not the waiting task has pending requests.

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.
