Manual followup - normally I would've let this simmer until the next
version, but it is kind of silly to introduce fixed waits and then be
stuck with that implementation for eternity when we could be using the
generic infrastructure. Hence why it's added at this point for 6.13.

Caveat - this will break the existing registered cqwait in liburing,
but there's time to get that sorted before the next liburing release.
