Subject: [PATCH 1/1] io_uring: don't wait when under-submitting

There is no reliable way to submit and wait in a single syscall, as
io_submit_sqes() may under-consume sqes (in case of an early error).
Then it will wait for not-yet-submitted requests, deadlocking the user
in most cases.

Don't wait/poll if can't submit all sqes, and return -EAGAIN

I wonder, why it doesn't return 2 error codes for submission and waiting
separately? It's a bit puzzling figuring out what to return. I guess the
same with the userspace side.
