Hmm... I tested against
https://github.com/axboe/liburing/commit/74fefa1b51ee35a2014ca6e7667d7c10e9c5b06f

I'll redo the test against the unpatched kernel to be 100% sure that it
is not related to my patches. The -22 is likely an -EINVAL.

Ok, that is fine for me. Then let's first get things right in this
series and then I'll send the backport.
