So I dug into this a bit more, and the constraint seems to be to avoid a
reference loop when CONFIG_UNIX=n. I grepped Google and SourceGraph for
"CONFIG_UNIX=n" and only found two kernel configs with Unix sockets
disabled, neither of which had io_uring enabled. Given the rather
arbitrary restriction on registering io_urings with each other, and the
apparent absence of a use-case for io_uring without Unix sockets, can we
just require CONFIG_UNIX for io_uring and remove the limitation?
