Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH liburing v1 3/4] man: Alias `io_uring_enter2()` to `io_uring_enter()`

There is no reference to "io_uring_enter2()" in this man page, only to
the updated signature of "io_uring_enter()". Can we make it clearer
that this is "io_uring_enter2()"? I would suggest adding the signature
for io_uring_enter2() to the top of the man page and renaming
"io_uring_enter()" to "io_uring_enter2()" in the "Since kernel 5.11"
section.
