We've got a good number of mappings we share with the userspace, that
includes the main rings, provided buffer rings, upcoming rings for
zerocopy rx and more. All of them duplicate user argument parsing and
some internal details as well (page pinnning, huge page optimisations,
mmap'ing, etc.)
Introduce a notion of regions. For userspace for now it's just a new
structure called struct io_uring_region_desc which is supposed to
parameterise all such mapping / queue creations. A region either
represents a user provided chunk of memory, in which case the user_addr
field should point to it, or a request for the kernel to allocate the
memory, in which case the user would need to mmap it after using the
offset returned in the mmap_offset field. With a uniform userspace API
we can avoid additional boiler plate code and apply future optimisation
to all of them at once.
Internally, there is a new structure struct io_mapped_region holding all
relevant runtime information and some helpers to work with it. This
patch limits it to user provided regions.

Move the related code from io_uring.c into memmap.c. No functional
changes in this patch, just cleaning it up a bit now that the full
transition is done.
