[PATCH v3] io_uring: don't wait when under-submitting

[Pavel Begunkov]

There is no reliable way to submit and wait in a single syscall, as
io_submit_sqes() may under-consume sqes (in case of an early error).
Then it will wait for not-yet-submitted requests, deadlocking the user
in most cases.

In such cases adjust min_complete, so it won't wait for more than
what have been submitted in the current call to io_uring_enter(). It
may be less than totally in-flight including previous submissions,
but this shouldn't do harm and up to a user.
