The tail of the provided ring buffer is shared between the kernel and the application, but the head is private to the kernel as the application doesn't need to see it. However, this also prevents the application from knowing how many buffers the kernel has consumed. Usually this is fine, as the information is inherently racy in that the kernel could be consuming buffers continually, but for cleanup purposes it may be relevant to know how many buffers are still left in the ring. Add IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_STATUS which will return status for a given provided buffer ring. Right now it just returns the head, but space is reserved for more information later in, if needed.
