Thanks for the patch.  You're right, the current code artificially
limits the maximum group id.

You are changing the default from an invalid group to the root group.  I
guess that's ok, but I'd rather keep it the way it is.  The text is a
bit repetitive.  Why not just this?

"When io_uring_disabled is set to 1, a process must either be
 privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) or be in the io_uring_group group in order
 to create an io_uring instance."

Right, INVALID_GID is -1.

This should be SYSCTL_ZERO.
