io_uring: gate REQ_F_ISREG on !S_ANON_INODE as well
io_uring marks a request as dealing with a regular file on S_ISREG. This drives things like retries on short reads or writes, which is generally not expected on a regular file (or bdev). Applications tend to not expect that, so io_uring tries hard to ensure it doesn't deliver short IO on regular files. However, a recent commit added S_IFREG to anonymous inodes. When io_uring is used to read from various things that are backed by anon inodes, like eventfd, timerfd, etc, then it'll now all of a sudden wait for more data when rather than deliver what was read or written in a single operation. This breaks applications that issue reads on anon inodes, if they ask for more data than a single read delivers. Add a check for !S_ANON_INODE as well before setting REQ_F_ISREG to prevent that.
