io_uring/msg_ring: add support for sending a sync message
Normally MSG_RING requires both a source and a destination ring. But
some users don't always have a ring avilable to send a message from, yet
they still need to notify a target ring.
Add support for using io_uring_register(2) without having a source ring,
using a file descriptor of -1 for that. Internally those are called
blind registration opcodes. Implement IORING_REGISTER_SEND_MSG_RING as a
blind opcode, which simply takes an sqe that the application can put on
the stack and use the normal liburing helpers to initialize it. Then the
app can call:
io_uring_register(-1, IORING_REGISTER_SEND_MSG_RING, &sqe, 1);
and get the same behavior in terms of the target, where a CQE is posted
with the details given in the sqe.
For now this takes a single sqe pointer argument, and hence arg must
be set to that, and nr_args must be 1. Could easily be extended to take
an array of sqes, but for now let's keep it simple.
