Maybe add a helper in include/linux/io_uring.h is good since ioucmd and pdu is
only used by NVMe and ublk_drv. NVMe does not need to transform pdu to ioucmd.
But in ublk_drv if we want to get ioucmd in task work, this transformation
is needed:

struct callback_head *work
		--> struct ublk_uring_cmd_pdu *pdu
      				--> struct io_uring_cmd *cmd
