I don't think it's that unreasonable restricting it. It's hard to
care about !DEFER_TASKRUN for net workloads, it makes CQE posting a bit
cleaner, and who knows where the single task part would become handy.
Thinking about ifq termination, which should better cancel and wait
for all corresponding zc requests, it's should be easier without
parallel threads. E.g. what if another thread is in the enter syscall
using ifq, or running task_work and not cancellable. Then apart
from (non-atomic) refcounting, we'd need to somehow wait for it,
doing wake ups on the zc side, and so on.

The CQ side is easy to support though, put conditional locking
around the posting like fill/post_cqe does with the todays
patchset.
