Sorry I'm not entirely clear on the impact of REQ_POLLED in this context.
I searched that REQ_POLLED is set for request if polled in io_uring or
io_uring_cmd, but here we just judge the state of request_queue.

Do you mean making this judgment here may not be a good choice, because
it may affect other IO (by same path), and this change should be just
targeted at io_uring?
