I suspect the best is to:

 - rename init_sync_kiocb to init_kiocb

Do you mean the direction rather than the destination?

   to it.  I'm not entirely
   sure if flags is a good thing, or an explicit READ/WRITE might be
   better because it's harder to get wrong, even if a the compiler

 - also use it in the async callers (io_uring, aio, overlayfs, loop,
   nvmet, target, cachefs, file backed swap)
