When IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is enabled, io_uring will always handle sqes
in sq thread task context, so in io_iopoll_req_issued(), if we're not
in io worker context, we don't need to check whether should wake up
sq thread. io_iopoll_req_issued() calls wq_has_sleeper(), which has
smp_mb() memory barrier, perf shows obvious overhead:
  Samples: 481K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 299807382878
  Overhead  Comma  Shared Object     Symbol
     3.69%  :9630  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] io_issue_sqe

With this patch, perf shows:
  Samples: 482K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 299929547283
  Overhead  Comma  Shared Object     Symbol
     0.70%  :4015  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] io_issue_sqe

It shows some obvious improvements.
