If this is set, io_uring will never use an IPI to deliver a task_work
notification. This can be used in the common case where a single task or
thread communicates with the ring, and doesn't rely on
io_uring_cqe_peek().
This provides a noticeable win in performance, both from eliminating
the IPI itself, but also from avoiding interrupting the submitting
task unnecessarily.
