[PATCH 16/26] aio: add submission side request cache

[Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>]

We have to add each submitted polled request to the io_context
poll_submitted list, which means we have to grab the poll_lock. We
already use the block plug to batch submissions if we're doing a batch
of IO submissions, extend that to cover the poll requests internally as
well.
