Why? If all you do is skip atime update anyway then just add something
like:

bool file_needs_atime(struct file *file)
{
       return !(file->f_flags & O_NOATIME) &&
              atime_needs_update(&file->f_path, d_inode(path->dentry));
}

and then

if (file_needs_atime(file) && IOURING_WANTS_ASYNC)
	return -EAGAIN;

instead of touching all this code.
