The first patch tries to improve various issues in current implementation:
The prepare_to_wait() usage in __io_sq_thread() is weird. If multiple ctxs
share one same poll thread, one ctx will put poll thread in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE,
but if other ctxs have work to do, we don't need to change task's stat at all.
I think only if all ctxs don't have work to do, we can do it.
We use round-robin strategy to make multiple ctxs share one same poll thread,
but there are various condition in __io_sq_thread(), which seems complicated and
may affect round-robin strategy.
In io_sq_thread(), we always call io_sq_thread_drop_mm() when we complete a
round of ctxs iteration, which maybe inefficient.
The second patch adds a IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL_PERCPU flag, for those rings which
have SQPOLL enabled and are willing to be bound to one same cpu, hence share
one same poll thread, add a capability that these rings can share one poll thread
by specifying a new IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL_PERCPU flag. FIO tool can integrate this
feature easily, so we can test multiple rings to share same poll thread easily.

io_uring: support multiple rings to share same poll thread by
specifying same cpu
