Rename lock_two_rings() to io_lock_two_rings() and export. This will be
used when sharing a src ifq owned by one ring with another ring. During
this process both rings need to be locked in a deterministic order,

unlock();
double_lock();
It's quite a bad pattern just like any temporary unlocks in the
registration path, it gives a lot of space for exploitation.
Ideally, it'd be
lock(ctx1);
zcrx = grab_zcrx(ctx1, id); // with some refcounting inside
unlock(ctx1);
lock(ctx2);
install(ctx2, zcrx);
unlock(ctx2);
And as discussed, we need to think about turning it into a temp
file, bc of sync, and it's also hard to send an io_uring fd.
Though, that'd need moving bits around to avoid refcounting
cycles.
