This patche series introduce io_uring_cmd_import_vec. With this function,
Multiple fixed buffer could be used in uring cmd. It's vectored version
for io_uring_cmd_import_fixed(). Also this patch series includes a usage
for new api for encoded read/write in btrfs by using uring cmd.

There was approximately 10 percent of performance improvements through benchmark.
The benchmark code is in
https://github.com/SidongYang/btrfs-encoded-io-test/blob/main/main.c

./main -l
Elapsed time: 0.598997 seconds
./main -l -f
Elapsed time: 0.540332 seconds

Additionally, There is a commit that fixed a memory bug in btrfs uring encoded
read.

v2:
- don't export iou_vc, use bvec for btrfs
- use io_is_compat for checking compat
- reduce allocation/free for import fixed vec

v3:
- add iou_vec cache in io_uring_cmd and use it
- also encoded write fixed supported

v4:
- add a patch that introduce io_async_cmd
- add a patch that fixes a bug in btrfs encoded read

Sidong Yang (5):
io_uring/cmd: introduce io_async_cmd for hide io_uring_cmd_data
io-uring/cmd: add iou_vec field for io_uring_cmd
io-uring/cmd: introduce io_uring_cmd_import_fixed_vec
btrfs: ioctl: introduce btrfs_uring_import_iovec()
btrfs: ioctl: don't free iov when -EAGAIN in uring encoded read
