[PATCH 5.10 333/509] io_uring: Use io_schedule* in cqring wait

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>

Commit 8a796565cec3601071cbbd27d6304e202019d014 upstream.

I observed poor performance of io_uring compared to synchronous IO. That
turns out to be caused by deeper CPU idle states entered with io_uring,
due to io_uring using plain schedule(), whereas synchronous IO uses
io_schedule().

The losses due to this are substantial. On my cascade lake workstation,
t/io_uring from the fio repository e.g. yields regressions between 20%
and 40% with the following command:
./t/io_uring -r 5 -X0 -d 1 -s 1 -c 1 -p 0 -S$use_sync -R 0 /mnt/t2/fio/write.0.0

This is repeatable with different filesystems, using raw block devices
and using different block devices.

Use io_schedule_prepare() / io_schedule_finish() in
io_cqring_wait_schedule() to address the difference.

After that using io_uring is on par or surpassing synchronous IO (using
registered files etc makes it reliably win, but arguably is a less fair
comparison).

There are other calls to schedule() in io_uring/, but none immediately
jump out to be similarly situated, so I did not touch them. Similarly,
it's possible that mutex_lock_io() should be used, but it's not clear if
there are cases where that matters.
