For some test apps at least, user_data is just zeroes. So it's not a
good way to tell what the command actually is. Add the opcode to the
issue trace point.

We don't have shadow requests anymore, so get rid of the shadow
argument. Add the user_data argument, as that's often useful to easily
match up requests, instead of having to look at request pointers.

We currently don't have a completion event trace, add one of those. And
to better be able to match up submissions and completions, add user_data
to the submission trace as well.

This internal logic was killed with the conversion to io-wq, so we no
longer have a need for this particular trace. Kill it.

Drop various work-arounds we have for workqueues:
- We no longer need the async_list for tracking sequential IO.
- We don't have to maintain our own mm tracking/setting.
- We don't need a separate workqueue for buffered writes. This didn't
even work that well to begin with, as it was suboptimal for multiple
buffered writers on multiple files.
- We can properly cancel pending interruptible work. This fixes
deadlocks with particularly socket IO, where we cannot cancel them
when the io_uring is closed. Hence the ring will wait forever for
these requests to complete, which may never happen. This is different
from disk IO where we know requests will complete in a finite amount
of time.
- Due to being able to cancel work interruptible work that is already
running, we can implement file table support for work. We need that
for supporting system calls that add to a process file table.
- It gets us one step closer to adding async support for any system
call.

To trace io_uring activity one can get an information from workqueue and
io trace events, but looks like some parts could be hard to identify via
this approach. Making what happens inside io_uring more transparent is
important to be able to reason about many aspects of it, hence introduce
the set of tracing events.
All such events could be roughly divided into two categories:
* those, that are helping to understand correctness (from both kernel
and an application point of view). E.g. a ring creation, file
registration, or waiting for available CQE. Proposed approach is to
get a pointer to an original structure of interest (ring context, or
request), and then find relevant events. io_uring_queue_async_work
also exposes a pointer to work_struct, to be able to track down
corresponding workqueue events.
* those, that provide performance related information. Mostly it's about
events that change the flow of requests, e.g. whether an async work
was queued, or delayed due to some dependencies. Another important
case is how io_uring optimizations (e.g. registered files) are
utilized.
