[PATCH 00/10] Read/Write with meta/integrity

This adds a new io_uring interface to specify meta along with
read/write. Beyond reading/writing meta, the interface also enables
(a) flags to control data-integrity checks, (b) application tag.

Block path (direct IO) and NVMe driver are modified to support
this.

First 5 patches are enhancements/fixes in the block/nvme so that user meta buffer
(mostly when it gets split) is handled correctly.
Patch 8 adds the io_uring support.
Patch 9 adds the support for block direct IO, and patch 10 for NVMe.

Interface:
Two new opcodes in io_uring: IORING_OP_READ/WRITE_META.
The leftover space in SQE is used to send meta buffer, its length,
apptag, and meta flags (guard/reftag/apptag check for now). Example
program on how to use the interface is appended below [1]

Another design choice will be not to introduce the new opcodes, and add
new RWF_META flag instead. Open to that in next version.
As for new meta flags, RWF_* seemed a bit precious to use. Hence took the route
to carve those within the SQE itself.

Performance:
of non-meta io is not affected due to these patches.

Testing:
has been done by modifying fio to use this interface.

Changes since RFC:
- modify io_uring plumbing based on recent async handling state changes
- fixes/enhancements to correctly handle the split for meta buffer
- add flags to specify guard/reftag/apptag checks
- add support to send apptag
