Following user feedback, this patch simplifies zerocopy send API. One of
the main complaints is that the current API is difficult with the
userspace managing notification slots, and then send retries with error
handling make it even worse.
Instead of keeping notification slots change it to the per-request
notifications model, which posts both completion and notification CQEs
for each request when any data has been sent, and only one CQE if it
fails. All notification CQEs will have IORING_CQE_F_NOTIF set and
IORING_CQE_F_MORE in completion CQEs indicates whether to wait a
notification or not.
IOSQE_CQE_SKIP_SUCCESS is disallowed with zerocopy sends for now.
This is less flexible, but greatly simplifies the user API and also the
kernel implementation. We reuse notif helpers in this patch, but in the
future there won't be need for keeping two requests.

We usually copy all bits that a request needs from the userspace for
async execution, so the userspace can keep them on the stack. However,
send zerocopy violates this pattern for addresses and may reloads it
e.g. from io-wq. Save the address if any in ->async_data as usual.

[axboe: fold in incremental fix]

Add a new io_uring opcode IORING_OP_SENDZC. The main distinction from
IORING_OP_SEND is that the user should specify a notification slot
index in sqe::notification_idx and the buffers are safe to reuse only
when the used notification is flushed and completes.

We already have the declarations in opdef.h, move the rest into its own
file rather than in the main io_uring.c file.
