Hi Jens,

There are two patches in this series.

1) MAINTAINERS: Add `include/linux/io_uring_types.h`.

File include/linux/io_uring_types.h doesn't have a maintainer, add it
to the io_uring section.

2) io_uring: uapi: Add `extern "C"` in io_uring.h for liburing.

^ Do that.

Make it easy for liburing to integrate uapi header with the kernel.
Previously, when this header changes, the liburing side can't directly
copy this header file due to some small differences. Sync them.
