This patch introduces support for `uring_cmd` to the `miscdevice`
framework. This is achieved by adding a new `uring_cmd` method to the
`MiscDevice` trait and wiring it up to the corresponding
`file_operations` entry.

The `uring_cmd` function provides a mechanism for `io_uring` to issue
commands to a device driver.

The new `uring_cmd` method takes the device, an `IoUringCmd` object,
and issue flags as arguments. The `IoUringCmd` object is a safe Rust
abstraction around the raw `io_uring_cmd` struct.

To enable `uring_cmd` for a specific misc device, the `HAS_URING_CMD`
constant must be set to `true` in the `MiscDevice` implementation.

Passing the IoUringCmd by reference doesn't allow the uring_cmd()
implementation to store it beyond the function return. That precludes
any asynchronous uring_cmd() implementation, which is kind of the
whole point of uring_cmd. I think uring_cmd() needs to transfer
ownership of the IoUringCmd so the implementation can complete it
asynchronously.

Best,
Caleb
