io_uring: refactor file register/unregister/update handling

While diving into io_uring fileset register/unregister/update codes, we
found one bug in the fileset update handling. io_uring fileset update
use a percpu_ref variable to check whether we can put the previously
registered file, only when the refcnt of the perfcpu_ref variable
reaches zero, can we safely put these files. But this doesn't work so
well. If applications always issue requests continually, this
perfcpu_ref will never have an chance to reach zero, and it'll always be
in atomic mode, also will defeat the gains introduced by fileset
register/unresiger/update feature, which are used to reduce the atomic
operation overhead of fput/fget.

To fix this issue, while applications do IORING_REGISTER_FILES or
IORING_REGISTER_FILES_UPDATE operations, we allocate a new percpu_ref
and kill the old percpu_ref, new requests will use the new percpu_ref.
Once all previous old requests complete, old percpu_refs will be dropped
and registered files will be put safely.
