Just to follow the common pattern when a feature is not enabled the
return value is -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EINVAL. What do you think?

This needs to be corrected. If the @arg var is NULL, you return -EINVAL.
So io_unregister_napi() will always have @arg != NULL. This @arg check
should go, allow the user to pass a NULL pointer to it.

Our previous agreement on this API is to allow the user to pass a NULL
pointer in case the user doesn't care about the old value.

Also, having a liburing test case that verifies this behavior would be
excellent.
