For completeness, here's the V2 of this patch. Did a few more cleanups
since changes were being made. This is what is in the io_uring-futex
branch as of earlier today. Didn't think it was worthwhile to spin a new
full patchset version for this and post it.

io_uring: add support for vectored futex waits

This adds support for IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV, which allows registering a
notification for a number of futexes at once. If one of the futexes are
woken, then the request will complete with the index of the futex that got
woken as the result. This is identical to what the normal vectored futex
waitv operation does.

Use like IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT, except sqe->addr must now contain the a
pointer to a struct futex_waitv array, and sqe->off must now contain the
number of elements in that array.

For cancelations, FUTEX_WAITV does not rely on the futex_unqueue()
return value as we're dealing with multiple futexes. Instead, a separate
per io_uring request atomic is used to claim ownership of the request.

Waiting on N futexes could be done with IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT as well,
but that punts a lot of the work to the application:

1) Application would need to submit N IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAIT requests,
rather than just a single IORING_OP_FUTEX_WAITV.

2) When one futex is woken, application would need to cancel the
remaining N-1 requests that didn't trigger.

While this is of course doable, having a single vectored futex wait
makes for much simpler application code.
