io_uring: drain next sqe instead of shadowing
There's an issue with the shadow drain logic in that we drop the completion lock after deciding to defer a request, then re-grab it later and assume that the state is still the same. In the mean time, someone else completing a request could have found and issued it. This can cause a stall in the queue, by having a shadow request inserted that nobody is going to drain. Additionally, if we fail allocating the shadow request, we simply ignore the drain. Instead of using a shadow request, defer the next request/link instead. This also has the following advantages: - removes semi-duplicated code - doesn't allocate memory for shadows - works better if only the head marked for drain - doesn't need complex synchronisation On the flip side, it removes the shadow->seq == last_drain_in_in_link->seq optimization. That shouldn't be a common case, and can always be added back, if needed.
