Subject: [PATCH] tun: honor IOCB_NOWAIT flag

tun only checks the file O_NONBLOCK flag, but it should also be checking
the iocb IOCB_NOWAIT flag. Any fops using ->read/write_iter() should check
both, otherwise it breaks users that correctly expect O_NONBLOCK semantics
if IOCB_NOWAIT is set.

Had a bug report on io_uring, and it's due to tun not honoring
IOCB_NOWAIT. Let's get this fixed.
