Add internal part of send zerocopy notifications. There are two main structures, the first one is struct io_notif, which carries inside struct ubuf_info and maps 1:1 to it. io_uring will be binding a number of zerocopy send requests to it and ask to complete (aka flush) it. When flushed and all attached requests and skbs complete, it'll generate one and only one CQE. There are intended to be passed into the network layer as struct msghdr::msg_ubuf. The second concept is notification slots. The userspace will be able to register an array of slots and subsequently addressing them by the index in the array. Slots are independent of each other. Each slot can have only one notifier at a time (called active notifier) but many notifiers during the lifetime. When active, a notifier not going to post any completion but the userspace can attach requests to it by specifying the corresponding slot while issueing send zc requests. Eventually, the userspace will want to "flush" the notifier losing any way to attach new requests to it, however it can use the next atomatically added notifier of this slot or of any other slot. When the network layer is done with all enqueued skbs attached to a notifier and doesn't need the specified in them user data, the flushed notifier will post a CQE.

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.
