IOSQE_SQE_GROUP just starts to queue members after the leader is completed,
which way is just for simplifying implementation, and this behavior is never
part of UAPI, and it may be relaxed and members can be queued concurrently
with leader in future.
However, some resource can't cross OPs, such as kernel buffer, otherwise
the buffer may be leaked easily in case that any OP failure or application
panic.
Add flag REQ_F_SQE_GROUP_DEP for allowing members to depend on group leader
explicitly, so that group members won't be queued until the leader request is
completed, the kernel resource lifetime can be aligned with group leader
or group, one typical use case is to support zero copy for device internal
buffer.
