Xiaoguang Wang 2e9dbe902d io_uring: only wake up sq thread while current task is in io worker context
If IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is enabled, sqes are either handled in sq thread
task context or in io worker task context. If current task context is sq
thread, 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, before this patch, 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
