This looks good to me. The only disadvantage I can see is that the async
fallback allocates just a tiny bit more data than before, but no biggie.

One minor suggestion. The above is the only user of uring_cmd_pdu_size() now,
which is kind of a convoluted way to enfoce the offset of the 'cmd' field. It
may be more clear to replace these with:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct io_uring_sqe, cmd) == 48);
