[RFC,8/8] io_uring: Do not set iowait before sleeping

Commit Message

Christian Loehle Sept. 5, 2024, 9:26 a.m. UTC

Setting in_iowait was introduced in commit
8a796565cec3 ("io_uring: Use io_schedule* in cqring wait")
to tackle a perf regression that was caused by menu taking iowait into
account for synchronous IO and thus not selecting deeper states like in
the io_uring counterpart.
That behaviour is gone, so the workaround can be removed.
