[PATCHSET,v3,0/4] Provide more efficient buffer registration

Hi,

Pretty much what the subject line says, it's about 25k to 40k times
faster to provide a way to duplicate an existing rings buffer
registration than it is manually map/pin/register the buffers again
with a new ring.

Patch 1 is just a prep patch, patch 2 adds refs to struct
io_mapped_ubuf, patch 3 abstracts out a helper, and patch 4 finally adds
the register opcode to allow a ring to duplicate the registered mappings
from one ring to another.

This came about from discussing overhead from the varnish cache
project for cases with more dynamic ring/thread creation.

Also see the buf-copy liburing branch for support and test code:

Since v2:
- Ensure that it works for registered rings (both src/dst)
- Little cleanups
