io_uring: restore back registered wait arguments

Now we've got a more generic region registration API, place
IORING_ENTER_EXT_ARG_REG and re-enable it.

First, the user has to register a region with the
IORING_MEM_REGION_REG_WAIT_ARG flag set. It can only be done for a
ring in a disabled state, aka IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED, to avoid races
with already running waiters. With that we should have stable constant
values for ctx->cq_wait_{size,arg} in io_get_ext_arg_reg() and hence no
READ_ONCE required.

The other API difference is that we're now passing byte offsets instead
of indexes. The user _must_ align all offsets / pointers to the native
word size, failing to do so might but not necessarily has to lead to a
failure usually returned as -EFAULT. liburing will be hiding this
details from users.
