io_uring: refactor file register/unregister/update handling
While diving into io_uring fileset register/unregister/update codes, we found one bug in the fileset update handling. io_uring fileset update use a percpu_ref variable to check whether we can put the previously registered file, only when the refcnt of the perfcpu_ref variable reaches zero, can we safely put these files. But this doesn't work so well. If applications always issue requests continually, this perfcpu_ref will never have an chance to reach zero, and it'll always be in atomic mode, also will defeat the gains introduced by fileset register/unresiger/update feature, which are used to reduce the atomic operation overhead of fput/fget. To fix this issue, while applications do IORING_REGISTER_FILES or IORING_REGISTER_FILES_UPDATE operations, we allocate a new percpu_ref and kill the old percpu_ref, new requests will use the new percpu_ref. Once all previous old requests complete, old percpu_refs will be dropped and registered files will be put safely.
