Following user feedback, this patch simplifies zerocopy send API. One of the main complaints is that the current API is difficult with the userspace managing notification slots, and then send retries with error handling make it even worse. Instead of keeping notification slots change it to the per-request notifications model, which posts both completion and notification CQEs for each request when any data has been sent, and only one CQE if it fails. All notification CQEs will have IORING_CQE_F_NOTIF set and IORING_CQE_F_MORE in completion CQEs indicates whether to wait a notification or not. IOSQE_CQE_SKIP_SUCCESS is disallowed with zerocopy sends for now. This is less flexible, but greatly simplifies the user API and also the kernel implementation. We reuse notif helpers in this patch, but in the future there won't be need for keeping two requests.

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.
