There is a complaint against sys_io_uring_enter() blocking if it submits
stdin reads. The problem is in __io_file_supports_async(), which
sees that it's a cdev and allows it to be processed inline.
Punt char devices using generic rules of io_file_supports_async(),
including checking for presence of *_iter() versions of rw callbacks.
Apparently, it will affect most of cdevs with some exceptions like
null and zero devices.

"...For now, just ensure that anything potentially problematic is done
inline". I believe this part is outdated, but what use cases we miss?
Anything that we care about?
IMHO the best option is to do like in this patch and add
(read,write)_iter(), to places we care about.
/dev/[u]random, consoles, any else?
