This works much better than IOSQE_ASYNC in cases where cpu resources
are scarce or unbound max_worker is small. In these cases, number of
io-worker eazily increments to max_worker, new worker cannot be created
and running workers stuck there handling old works in IOSQE_ASYNC mode.

In my machine, set unbound max_worker to 20, run echo-server, turns out:
(arguments: register_file, connetion number is 1000, message size is 12
Byte)
IOSQE_ASYNC: 76664.151 tps
IOSQE_ASYNC_HYBRID: 166934.985 tps

Nope, it indicates that needs more complex refcounting. It includes linked
timeouts but also poll because of req_ref_get for double poll. fwiw, with
some work it can be removed for polls, harder (and IMHO not necessary) to do
for timeouts.

It's buggy, you will get all kinds of kernel crashes and leaks.
Currently IO_URING_F_NONBLOCK has dual meaning: obvious nonblock but
also whether we hold uring_lock or not. You'd need to split the flag
into two, i.e. IO_URING_F_LOCKED
