Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] io_uring: batch getting pcpu references

percpu_ref_tryget() has its own overhead. Instead getting a reference
for each request, grab a bunch once per io_submit_sqes().

basic benchmark with submit and wait 128 non-linked nops showed ~5%
performance gain. (7044 KIOPS vs 7423)

It's just becoming more bulky with ret for me, and would love to hear,
hot to make it clearer. This version removes all error handling from
hot path, though with goto.
