One bug and one performance issue, though I haven't investigated deep
for both.


kernel base: based on Jens' for-next, applying Christoph and Leiming's
patchset.


1. One bug when there's DM device stack, e.g., dm-linear upon another
dm-linear. Can be reproduced by following steps:

```
$ sudo dmsetup create tmpdev --table '0 2097152 linear /dev/nvme0n1 0'

$ cat tmp.table
0 2097152 linear /dev/mapper/tmpdev 0
2097152 2097152 linear /dev/nvme0n1 0

$ cat tmp.table | dmsetup create testdev

$ fio -name=test -ioengine=io_uring -iodepth=128 -numjobs=1 -thread
-rw=randread -direct=1 -bs=4k -time_based -runtime=10 -cpus_allowed=6
-filename=/dev/mapper/testdev -hipri=1
```

2. Performance Issue

I test both on x86 (with only one NVMe) and aarch64 (with multiple NVMes).

The result (IOPS) on x86 is as expected:

Type 	  |IRQ   | Polling
--------- | ---- | ----
dm-linear | 239k | 357k

- dm-linear built upon one NVMe,bs=4k, iopoll=1, iodepth=128,
numjobs=1, direct, randread, ioengine=io_uring



While the result on aarch64 is a little confusing.

Type 	      |IRQ   | Polling
------------- | ---- | ----
dm-linear [1] | 208k | 230k
dm-linear [2] | 637k | 691k
dm-stripe     | 310k | 354k

- dm-linear [1] built upon *one* NVMe,bs=4k, iopoll=1, iodepth=128,
*numjobs=1*, direct, randread, ioengine=io_uring
- dm-linear [2] built upon *three* NVMes,bs=4k, iopoll=1, iodepth=128,
*numjobs=3*, direct, randread, ioengine=io_uring
- dm-stripe built upon *three* NVMes,chunk_size=4k, bs=12k, iopoll=1,
iodepth=128, numjobs=3, direct, randread, ioengine=io_uring


Following is the corresponding test result of Leiming's last
implementation for bio-based polling on aarch64.
IRQ	IOPOLL	ratio
dm-linear [2]	639K	835K	~30%
dm-stripe 	314K	408K	~30%
