Allow uring command to be group leader for providing kernel buffer,
and this way can support generic device zero copy over device buffer.
The following patch will use the way to support zero copy for ublk.

Is there a good reason it needs to be a cmd generic flag instead of
ublk specific?
1. Extra overhead for files / cmds that don't even care about the
feature.
2. As it stands with this patch, the flag is ignored by all other
cmd implementations, which might be quite confusing as an api,
especially so since if we don't set that REQ_F_GROUP_KBUF memeber
requests will silently try to import a buffer the "normal way",
i.e. interpret sqe->addr or such as the target buffer.
3. We can't even put some nice semantics on top since it's
still cmd specific and not generic to all other io_uring
requests.
I'd even think that it'd make sense to implement it as a
new cmd opcode, but that's the business of the file implementing
it, i.e. ublk.
