Considering all inlining io_submit_sqe() is huge and usually ends up calling some other functions. We decrement @left in io_submit_sqes() just before calling io_submit_sqe() and use it later after the call. Considering how huge io_submit_sqe() is, there is not much hope @left will be treated gracefully by compilers. Decrement it after the call, not only it's easier on register spilling and probably saves stack write/read, but also at least for x64 uses CPU flags set by the dec instead of doing (read/write and tests).
