io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while registering/unregistering eventfd
This is done by creating a new RCU data structure (io_ev_fd) as part of
io_ring_ctx that holds the eventfd_ctx.
The function io_eventfd_signal is executed under rcu_read_lock with a
single rcu_dereference to io_ev_fd so that if another thread unregisters
the eventfd while io_eventfd_signal is still being executed, the
eventfd_signal for which io_eventfd_signal was called completes
successfully.
The process of registering/unregistering eventfd is already done under
uring_lock so multiple threads won't enter a race condition while
registering/unregistering eventfd.
With the above approach ring quiesce can be avoided which is much more
expensive then using RCU lock. On the system tested, io_uring_register
with IORING_REGISTER_EVENTFD takes less than 1ms with RCU lock, compared
to 15ms before with ring quiesce.
