io_uring/rw: fix short rw error handling

We have a couple of problems, first reports of unexpected link breakage
for reads when cqe->res indicates that the IO was done in full. The
reason here is partial IO with retries.

TL;DR; we compare the result in __io_complete_rw_common() against
req->cqe.res, but req->cqe.res doesn't store the full length but rather
the length left to be done. So, when we pass the full corrected result
via kiocb_done() -> __io_complete_rw_common(), it fails.

The second problem is that we don't try to correct res in
io_complete_rw(), which, for instance, might be a problem for O_DIRECT
but when a prefix of data was cached in the page cache. We also
definitely don't want to pass a corrected result into io_rw_done().

The fix here is to leave __io_complete_rw_common() alone, always pass
not corrected result into it and fix it up as the last step just before
actually finishing the I/O.
