In chasing a performance issue between using IORING_OP_RECVMSG and IORING_OP_READV on sockets, tracing showed that we always punt the socket reads to async offload. This is due to io_file_supports_async() not checking for S_ISSOCK on the inode. Since sockets supports the O_NONBLOCK (or MSG_DONTWAIT) flag just fine, add sockets to the list of file types that we can do a non-blocking issue to.
