When an io_uring request needs blocking context we offload it to the
io_uring's thread pool called io-wq. We can get there off ->uring_cmd
by returning -EAGAIN, but there is no straightforward way of doing that
from an asynchronous callback. Add a helper that would transfer a
command to a blocking context.
Note, we do an extra hop via task_work before io_queue_iowq(), that's a
limitation of io_uring infra we have that can likely be lifted later
if that would ever become a problem.
