io-wq: provide a way to limit max number of workers
io-wq divides work into two categories: 1) Work that completes in a bounded time, like reading from a regular file or a block device. This type of work is limited based on the size of the SQ ring. 2) Work that may never complete, we call this unbounded work. The amount of workers here is just limited by RLIMIT_NPROC. For various uses cases, it's handy to have the kernel limit the maximum amount of pending workers for both categories. Provide a way to do with with a new IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS operation. IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS takes an array of two integers and sets the max worker count to what is being passed in for each category. The old values are returned into that same array. If 0 is being passed in for either category, it simply returns the current value. The value is capped at RLIMIT_NPROC. This actually isn't that important as it's more of a hint, if we're exceeding the value then our attempt to fork a new worker will fail. This happens naturally already if more than one node is in the system, as these values are per-node internally for io-wq.
