Calling into opcode prep handlers may be dangerous, as they re-read
SQE but might not re-initialise requests completely. If io_req_defer()
passed fast checks and is done with preparations, punt it async.
As all other cases are covered with nulling @sqe, this guarantees that
io_[opcode]_prep() are visited only once per request.
