[PATCH] io_uring: treat -EAGAIN for REQ_F_NOWAIT as final for io-wq

[PATCH] io_uring: treat -EAGAIN for REQ_F_NOWAIT as final for io-wq

[Jens Axboe]

io-wq assumes that an issue is blocking, but it may not be if the
request type has asked for a non-blocking attempt. If we get
-EAGAIN for that case, then we need to treat it as a final result
and not retry or arm poll for it.
