io_uring: fix mis-refcounting linked timeouts



io_prep_linked_timeout() sets REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT altering refcounting of
the following linked request. After that someone should call
io_queue_linked_timeout(), otherwise a submission reference of the linked
timeout won't be ever dropped.

That's what happens in io_steal_work() if io-wq decides to postpone linked
request with io_wqe_enqueue(). io_queue_linked_timeout() can also be
potentially called twice without synchronisation during re-submission,
e.g. io_rw_resubmit().

There are the rules, whoever did io_prep_linked_timeout() must also call
io_queue_linked_timeout(). To not do it twice, io_prep_linked_timeout()
will return non NULL only for the first call. That's controlled by
REQ_F_LINK_TIMEOUT flag.

Also kill REQ_F_QUEUE_TIMEOUT.
