io_uring: add support for futex wake and wait

Add support for FUTEX_WAKE/WAIT primitives.

IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAKE is mix of FUTEX_WAKE and FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, as
it does support passing in a bitset.

Similary, IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT is a mix of FUTEX_WAIT and
FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET.

For both of them, they are using the futex2 interface.

FUTEX_WAKE is straight forward, as those can always be done directly from
the io_uring submission without needing async handling. For FUTEX_WAIT,
things are a bit more complicated. If the futex isn't ready, then we
rely on a callback via futex_queue->wake() when someone wakes up the
futex. From that calback, we queue up task_work with the original task,
which will post a CQE and wake it, if necessary.

Cancelations are supported, both from the application point-of-view,
but also to be able to cancel pending waits if the ring exits before
all events have occurred. The return value of futex_unqueue() is used
to gate who wins the potential race between cancelation and futex
wakeups. ...
