io_uring/register: add IORING_REGISTER_RESIZE_RINGS



Once a ring has been created, the size of the CQ and SQ rings are fixed.
Usually this isn't a problem on the SQ ring side, as it merely controls
the available number of requests that can be submitted in a single
system call, and there's rarely a need to change that.

For the CQ ring, it's a different story. For most efficient use of
io_uring, it's important that the CQ ring never overflows. This means
that applications must size it for the worst case scenario, which can
be wasteful.

Add IORING_REGISTER_RESIZE_RINGS, which allows an application to resize
the existing rings. It takes a struct io_uring_params argument, the same
one which is used to setup the ring initially, and resizes rings
according to the sizes given.

Certain properties are always inherited from the original ring setup,
like SQE128/CQE32 and other setup options. The implementation only
allows flag associated with how the CQ ring is sized and clamped.

Existing unconsumed SQE and CQE entries are copied as part of the
process. If either the SQ or CQ resized destination ring cannot hold the
entries already present in the source rings, then the operation is failed
with -EOVERFLOW. Any register op holds ->uring_lock, which prevents new
submissions, and the internal mapping holds the completion lock as well
across moving CQ ring state.

To prevent races between mmap and ring resizing, add a mutex that's
solely used to serialize ring resize and mmap. mmap_sem can't be used
here, as as fork'ed process may be doing mmaps on the ring as well.
The ctx->resize_lock is held across mmap operations, and the resize
will grab it before swapping out the already mapped new data.
