We've got two issues with the non-regular file handling for non-blocking IO: 1) We don't want to re-do a short read in full for a non-regular file, as we can't just read the data again. 2) For non-regular files that don't support non-blocking IO attempts, we need to punt to async context even if the file is opened as non-blocking. Otherwise the caller always gets -EAGAIN. Add two new request flags to handle these cases. One is just a cache of the inode S_ISREG() status, the other tells io_uring that we always need to punt this request to async context, even if REQ_F_NOWAIT is set.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
