io_uring: link requests with singly linked list



Singly linked list for keeping linked requests is enough, because we
almost always operate on the head and traverse forward with the
exception of linked timeouts going 1 hop backwards.

Replace ->link_list with a handmade singly linked list. Also kill
REQ_F_LINK_HEAD in favour of checking a newly added ->list for NULL
directly.

That saves 8B in io_kiocb, is not as heavy as list fixup, makes better
use of cache by not touching a previous request (i.e. last request of
the link) each time on list modification and optimises cache use further
in the following patch, and actually makes travesal easier removing in
the end some lines. Also, keeping invariant in ->list instead of having
REQ_F_LINK_HEAD is less error-prone.
