Subject: [PATCH 2/2] io_uring: Remove unnecessary BUILD_BUG_ON

In the io_uring_cmd_prep_async() there is a unnecessary compilation time
check to check if cmd is correctly placed at field 48 of the SQE.

This is uncessary, since this check is already in place at
io_uring_init():

          BUILD_BUG_SQE_ELEM(48, __u64,  addr3);

Remove it and the uring_cmd_pdu_size() function, which is not used
anymore.

Keith started a discussion about this topic in the following thread:
