[PATCH v3 00/10] Read/Write with meta/integrity

This adds a new io_uring interface to exchange meta along with read/write.

Interface:
Meta information is represented using a newly introduced 'struct io_uring_meta'.
Application sets up a SQE128 ring, and prepares io_uring_meta within second
SQE. Application populates 'struct io_uring_meta' fields as below:

* meta_type: describes type of meta that is passed. Currently one type
"Integrity" is supported.
* meta_flags: these are meta-type specific flags. Three flags are exposed for
integrity type, namely INTEGRITY_CHK_GUARD/APPTAG/REFTAG.
* meta_len: length of the meta buffer
* meta_addr: address of the meta buffer
* app_tag: optional application-specific 16b value; this goes along with
INTEGRITY_CHK_APPTAG flag.

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

The first three patches are required to make the user metadata split
work correctly.
Patch 4,5 are prep patches.
Patch 6 adds the io_uring support.
Patch 7 gives us unified interface for user and kernel generated
integrity.
Patch 8 adds the support for block direct IO, patch 9 for NVMe, and
patch 10 for SCSI.

Some of the design choices came from this discussion [2].

Example program on how to use the interface is appended below [3]

has been done by modifying fio to use this interface.

Changes since v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240626100700.3629-1-anuj20.g@samsung.com/
- io_uring error handling styling (Gabriel)
- add documented helper to get metadata bytes from data iter (hch)
- during clone specify "what flags to clone" rather than
"what not to clone" (hch)
- Move uio_meta defination to bio-integrity.h (hch)
- Rename apptag field to app_tag (hch)
- Change datatype of flags field in uio_meta to bitwise (hch)
- Don't introduce BIP_USER_CHK_FOO flags (hch, martin)
- Driver should rely on block layer flags instead of seeing if it is
user-passthrough (hch)
- update the scsi code for handling user-meta (hch, martin)

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240425183943.6319-1-joshi.k@samsung.com/
- Do not use new opcode for meta, and also add the provision to introduce new
meta types beyond integrity (Pavel)
- Stuff IOCB_HAS_META check in need_complete_io (Jens)
- Split meta handling in NVMe into a separate handler (Keith)
- Add meta handling for __blkdev_direct_IO too (Keith)
- Don't inherit BIP_COPY_USER flag for cloned bio's (Christoph)
- Better commit descriptions (Christoph)

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
