This eliminates several redundant reads, some of which probably cannot

Let's not, it hurts readability with no clear benefits. In most cases
the compiler will be able to optimise it just where it matters, and
in cold paths we're comparing the overhead of reading a cached variable
with taking locks and doing indirect calls, and even then it'd likely
need to be saved onto the stack and loaded back.

The only place where it might be worth it is io_issue_sqe(), and
even then I'd doubt it.

Jens, I'd suggest to drop it out of the tree, for the reasons above.
