[PATCH 9/9] nvme: wire up completion batching for the IRQ path

Trivial to do now, just need our own io_batch on the stack and pass that
in to the usual command completion handling.

I pondered making this dependent on how many entries we had to process,
but even for a single entry there's no discernable difference in
performance or latency. Running a sync workload over io_uring:

t/io_uring -b512 -d1 -s1 -c1 -p0 -F1 -B1 -n2 /dev/nvme1n1 /dev/nvme2n1

yields the below performance before the patch:

IOPS=254820, BW=124MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)
IOPS=251174, BW=122MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)
IOPS=250806, BW=122MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)

and the following after:

IOPS=255972, BW=124MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)
IOPS=251920, BW=123MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)
IOPS=251794, BW=122MiB/s, IOS/call=1/1, inflight=(1 1)

which definitely isn't slower, about the same if you factor in a bit of
variance. For peak performance workloads, benchmarking shows a 2%
improvement.
