If an application is using eventfd notifications with poll to know when
new SQEs can be issued, it's expecting the following read/writes to
complete inline. And with that, it knows that there are events available,
and don't want spurious wakeups on the eventfd for those requests.
This adds IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD_ASYNC, which works just like
IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD, except it only triggers notifications for events
that happen from async completions (IRQ, or io-wq worker completions).
Any completions inline from the submission itself will not trigger
notifications.
