[ Upstream commit 9fe3eaea4a3530ca34a8d8ff00b1848c528789ca ]

If we have a ton of notifications coming in, we can be looping in here
for a long time. This can be problematic for various reasons, mostly
because we can starve userspace. If the application is waiting on N
events, then only re-run if we need more events.

This commit breaks test/recv-multishot.c from liburing:
early error: res 4
test stream=1 wait_each=0 recvmsg=0 early_error=0 defer=1 failed

The behaviour is the same in 6.9-rc2 (which contains the commit too).

Reverting the commit on the top of 6.8.2 makes it pass again.

Should the test be updated or is the commit wrong?

Thanks.
