io_uring: Support calling io_uring_register with a registered ring fd
Add a new flag IORING_REGISTER_USE_REGISTERED_RING (set via the high bit
of the opcode) to treat the fd as a registered index rather than a file
descriptor.
This makes it possible for a library to open an io_uring, register the
ring fd, close the ring fd, and subsequently use the ring entirely via
registered index.
