Subject: [PATCH v2] io_uring: fix sparce warnings about __kernel_rwf_t casts

sparse generates follwong warnings:
fs/io_uring.c: note: in included file (through include/trace/perf.h,
include/trace/define_trace.h, include/trace/events/io_uring.h):
./include/trace/events/io_uring.h:488:1: sparse:
 warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
    expected unsigned int [usertype] op_flags
    got restricted __kernel_rwf_t const [usertype] rw_flags
fs/io_uring.c:3164:23: sparse:
 warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
    expected unsigned int [usertype] flags
    got restricted __kernel_rwf_t
fs/io_uring.c:3769:48: sparse:
 warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types)
    expected restricted __kernel_rwf_t [usertype] flags
    got unsigned int [usertype] flags

__kernel_rwf_t type is bitwise and requires __force attribute for casts.

To fix the warnings, the patch changes the type of fields in the
corresponding structures: poll32_events and rw_flags are neighbours
in the same union.
